In that case, here's how to reproduce on E18 0.18.3 + EFL 1.8.5:

# Configure quickaccess module by ticking all boxes in the basic config window:
## Hide instead of raising
## Hide if focus lost
## Skip taskbar
## Skip pager
# Open terminology
# Call something like terminology --name test-bug -I
# Select the instance of terminology you've just created
# Open window menu (e.g. ctrl+alt+w)
# Skip window list, pager and taskbar
# Then window remember
# Select advanced
# On identifiers tab tick window name, window class and window type
# On properties tab tick position, size, stacking, skip window list, pager and
taskbar
# Add quickaccess, remove transient
# Kill window
# Call terminology --name test-bug -I again
# Check the pager: the window is not there
# Show the window with the quickaccess shortcut
# Check the pager: the window is shown on all desktops
# Hide the window with the quickaccess shortcut
# Check the pager: the window is *still* shown on all desktops

I have only tried with terminology, but I don't see why this should be limited
to it.

Thanks for that. Could you be a bit more specific though? For example could you
point me to a file I can use as template? I guess that in the end you'll be
faster than me anyway, but I'd like to take a look at how this works.


Many thanks,
