GNOME 3.14 uses some heuristics to determine if an app can support multiple windows, so it doesn't display nonfunctional new window actions when right clicking on app launchers. In particular, a GtkApplication is assumed to only support a single window unless it has a GAction named new-window, or "X-GNOME-SingleWindow=false" in its desktop file. I think adding that line to the desktop file should be sufficient to make New Window work again.
Anyway, use case: while submitting a problem report, I decided that I wanted to view the "home page" with the list of problem reports on the left, but this isn't currently possible.

gnome-abrt does not support multiple instances because the notifications can open a detected problem in the currently opened window.
Your use case is valid and also supported. The reporting windows runs in a new process and you should be able to switch back to the main window (Alt+Tab works for me).
Hm, OK. Well, it's totally fine for gnome-abrt to be single instance; the thing is, if you close the main window, then it's impossible to reopen it without closing all associated windows. Try it by clicking Report in the upper-right of the main window to open a new report window, switch back to the main window, close the main window, and then try to figure out how to reopen it (I don't think it's possible).
I'm not sure what the right way to fix this for a single-instance app is, though. I think a single-instance app with multiple windows needs to provide its own way to reopen the main window. No clue how to do that nicely. (A multi-window, single-instance app is probably a bad idea....)
