Chromium --app flag opens in a window

Reported by nervlove...@gmail.com, Oct 26

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a shortcut/launcher with: chromium-browser --app https://chrome.google.com/webstore
2. Launch the shortcut

Alternative
1. Open a terminal window
2. launch chromium-browser --app https://chrome.google.com/webstore

What is the expected behavior?
Site should open in a separate window without browser UI elements (address bar, 3 dot menu, back/foward/sto/reload buttons)

What went wrong?
When chromium is closed:
- It opens a new window with the site in a new tab

When chromium is open with a single window:
- It opens the site in a new tab in the current window

When chromium is open with multiple window:
- It opens the site in a new tab in the most recent focused window

Did this work before? Yes 69.0.3497.81

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.67  Channel: stable
OS Version: 18.04
Flash Version: 31.0.0.122 /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so

This worked before when manually creating shortcuts using the --app flag
 
Im'a an idiot, the flag is
--app={url}

instead of
--app {url}

It's working ok as always.
