I saw this thread yesterday and thought I understood you wanted to change same thing I did. I found those same instructions but missed that "minor detail" about clicking on "Window Buttons". Just tried it again, and mine's now fixed, too. Feels like old times on this desktop.. Very happy! I don't know why it's easier for my brain to pick what it needs from that mess of buttons strewn across the top, but it is (much easier). The "never group" option has the added bonus of being a constant nag that browser windows need archived and closed, permanently if not sooner. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
Re: how to avoid the terminal overlap
Hi All, I think Tim got my point correct. I have corrected the issue by following the advice I googled: *1 Answer* 1. Right click on the taskbar, select Panel -> Panel Preferences. 2. Select the Items tab , select Window Buttons in the list, click the Edit button on the right side. 3. Change Window grouping to Never.

Best regards, lina If you mean the buttons on the panel (with names corresponding to windows), try Application Menu -> Settings -> Panel -> Items -> Window Buttons -> Edit -> Behaviour -> Windows Grouping -> Never.

First, let's see if I follow you. You are running XFCE. When you want to see multiple terminal programs, you get one XFCE term window with multiple tabs, and a shell in each one. What you would like is multiple windows, each with one tab. Once you have launched the first window, with one tab in it, try launching new terminals with CTL-SHIFT-N. That will get you multiple windows, each with one tab. Similarly with other programs. In Vivaldi (a web browser), a new tab is CTL-T, and a new window is CTL-W. There is a setting in Vivaldi for whether Mouse button 3 (right click for the right handed) produces a new tab or a new window. I expect other browsers have similar provisions. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

Best regards, lina I think the search terms you're looking for are xfce disable grouping taskbar. I don't know how to do it as I like it grouped (I might even have deliberately chosen this way in the deep dark past if it didn't use to be the default.)
