Basically, I have Google Hangouts open all the time. Sometimes, it's the only Chrome window that's open. When it is, and no other Chrome windows are open, all that happens when I click a Chrome icon to load up the full browser, is that the Google Hangouts window opens and closes. The full browser doesn't come up. I have to close Google Hangouts first, then it works.

Ideas?

Are you clicking on it in a Dock or a Shelf?

Both, actually. It does this either way. :(

If you arent using hangouts for calls but rather just for IM i would recommend using pidgin rather than chrome, it supports hangouts protocol

Well, that took some technical noodling, but I got it to work. Thanks again.
