I have made a 2 minute screencast with subtitles demonstrating the problems I have been having with minimized windows.
The screencast only shows firefox, but the problems occur for all windows. The problem has been marginally improved since my original report, probably by a recent update; now all you have to do to fix an "unminimized" window is shade and unshade, and it is possible to interact with windows behind previously minimized windows, although the cursor image still looks like it is hovering over the minimized window, and minimized windows still have focus, and in the video I demonstrate that you can type in minimized windows, until you click something else. Clicking on the launcher raises minimized windows if they are not focused; once they are unfocused compiz appears to treat them as minimized as well (the alt-tab picture is an icon rather than a thumbnail), whereas as long as the minimized window keeps focus it is still depicted by compiz as a thumbnail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754065 Title: Minimized windows are invisible but present; minimize COMPLETELY BROKEN -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
