Bug ID: 153869
Summary: Under KDE, minimized windows are not de-minimized when
selected in "Window" menu
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I'm used to minimized windows being automatically de-minimized when selected
from within applications. I believe it used to work that way in LibreOffice on
my old PC (running older versions of everything) but on my new one (running
Kubuntu 22.04 with KDE Plasma 5.24.7), nothing happens when I select a
minimized window in the Window menu. If a window is not minimized, everything
works smoothly: It is brought to the front, focused, and there is even an
automatic switch to the correct virtual desktop if needed. But none of that
happens with minimized windows.
It doesn't seem to be a fundamental limitation of the KDE window manager –
Google Chrome manages to de-minimize windows when selected in its equivalent
menu.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice Calc with a new document, "Untitled 1".
2. Select "New / Spreadsheet" in the File menu, creating another window:
"Untitled 2".
3. Minimize the "Untitled 2" window using the minimize icon in its title bar.
4. Go to the "Untitled 1" window and select "Untitled 2" in its Window menu.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens.
Expected Results:
The window "Untitled 2" should show up, meaning it has to be de-minimized
first.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
My old PC (running Kubuntu 18.04 and the LibreOffice shipped with that) is
dead, so I can't verify that this really worked as I wanted there (although I
believe it did). But I tried an even older computer with Ubuntu 16.04 and
LibreOffice 6.2.8.2, and it worked fine there under both KDE and GNOME. So I'm
filing this as a bug rather than an enhancement request, since the
functionality was evidently there and working at some point.
