chrome icon doubled on taskbar

hi there, i have chrome pinned to the taskbar. when i open it, a new chrome button appears on the taskbar instead of just opening the pinned one. here is a screenshot of what i mean:



the other pinned icons don't do this, for example i can open terminal and it opens as expected without creating an extra icon in the taskbar.

this started happening after i restarted a few times, it didn't do this when i first started using zorin. how can i fix this behavior?

thanks!

Firstly did you follow Wolfman's excellent Post-installation guide?

If you did try this:

1. Make sure you have a cable connection to your modem before booting with the second option (Advanced) and wait until the menu appears and select 'dpkg' - this searches for missing or broken packages.

2. If this still does not work after trying 'dpkg', backup/export your bookmarks and remove Chrome and reinstall it using the 'Web Browser Chooser Manager' in Menu | Internet.

it's funny, this actually started happening after i followed the post installation guide. XD

i will try removing and reinstalling chrome and let you know what happens.

Hi, All I will say is each to their own - Chrome is the first thing to get removed when I install Zorin - I replace with Firefox (and Opera 12.16 from Softpedia).

OK, just had this experience myself with LibreOffice Writer - if you have the Launcher/Task Manager Applet active this will cause duplicate entries:

Will have to install Opera as Firefox not letting me upload files!
