Public bug reported:

When clicking on the icon of a freshly launched pinned app on the dock,
the click action of Minimize/Unminimize does not trigger. Only after
manually minimizing the window first allows me to do so.

Did some research and found these:

https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/2324 - issue in dash-to-
dock repository, which I assume what ubuntu is using. The OP in the
video does not seem to be using Ubuntu per the looks, but I can confirm
that in my system the behaviour is the same.

That issue has a reference to a fork's issue tracker,
https://github.com/dmzoneill-forks/xdock/issues/122 - which references a
fix commit at https://github.com/dmzoneill-
forks/xdock/commit/4d40752d633204e9a8907b5f7831a0a27b9a6cf8 - so perhaps
Ubuntu can pick up the same fix, or swap over to that fork.

Click action:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock click-action
'minimize'

Please see the attached video. In the video, I launch the pinned
Nautilus file viewer application from the dock, and click on it's dock
icon trying to minimize it multiple times - nothing happens. After I
click on the Minimize button on the top right of the nautilus Window,
clicking on the dock icon of Nautilus now starts correctly minimizing
and unminimizing the application. I highly believe this the same issue
reported in the dash-to-dock GitHub repository and that the fix commit
from the fork has potential to fix the issue, but feel free to correct
me if this a different issue.

Sorry for the low quality on the video. Let me know if any other
information is needed. I'm down to test an update from -proposed
repository if a fix for this is implemented. Thanks for reading!
