Bug Description

When I type into the HUD, "new message" and choose Messages > Compose New Message, Thunderbird opens two or three windows to compose an email. I'm pretty sure only one window should appear.
I'm using all the default Unity settings.

Opened Applications: Firefox 11, Empathy 3.3.90.2, and Thunderbird Mail application.

To re-produce, have the applications above open (Not sure if they are necessary for this bug to happen), use the HUD and type in "new message" and then choose the first result which should be Messages > Compose New Message.
You should then see Thunderbird open two or three windows to compose a new email message.

I'm not knowledgable on Ubuntu, but thought I would report this as a Bug, even though it might not be.
