Public bug reported: When applications close and re-open their window and BamfView changed its path, the child cache of BamfView does not reload its children and continues to work with the old cache, which does not contain any children. The application icon in Unity then does not do anything (cannot raise the application window, activate a minimized window or Alt-Tab to the window).
This problem shows up for us mainly when using the Citrix Receiver, but other applications can trigger this too. This problem exists in Trusty and Yaketty (maybe older versions too, I haven't checked those), and the attached patch fixes the problem (fixes the handling of the reload_children boolean). I think the following bug report might be the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bamf/+bug/1326903 ** Affects: bamf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: trusty yakkety ** Patch added: "fix_bamf_view_child_caching.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609303/+attachment/4712958/+files/fix_bamf_view_child_caching.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to bamf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609303 Title: libbamf: BamfView child cache not reloading Status in bamf package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When applications close and re-open their window and BamfView changed its path, the child cache of BamfView does not reload its children and continues to work with the old cache, which does not contain any children.
