Description jose luis m 2016-01-04 20:27:52 UTC

In Pager, when you hover over any virtual desktop , it lists the windows opened it the respective virtual desktop, which is very useful to know which programs are running in any particular virtual desktop. If those windows are minimized, Pager doesn't list them, and if you only have minimized windows in  a particular virtual desktop, pager tooltip says "0 windows", which is just wrong. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a window(s)  in a any virtual desktop and keep it maximized.
2.In pager, hover your pointer over this specific desktop (pager should list the windows present in that virtual desktop correctly)
3.minimize that window(s) and hover again over that virtual desktop, pager doesn't list the minimized windows, although those windows are still opened.

Usability: Minimized windows are ignored from the little window previews which is probably why they're ignored in the tooltip as well. Should they be shown in the tooltip always?

Comment 2 jose luis m 2016-03-07 17:10:56 UTC

Well, the thing is that when you hover over pager, it says "0 windows" , not "0 windows maximized". 
 Besides that, to me doesn't make sense to report only maximized windows given that everytime  i hover over any virtual desktop in pager it's because i want to know if there are any window opened (nor maximized or minimized) in that virtual desktop and have a list of those windows without changing the desktop.  So for me the current implementation for maximized windows would be ideal but for all  opened windows.
 Maybe others dont use pager hover  like me, to me is almost natural and i cant recall if it was this way in kde3/4 but now it seems wrong.

The previews have nothing to do with the list of windows. A minimized window is still a window, so yes, it should clearly be listed in the pager tooltip.

I think that developers could give answers about bugs saying if they will fix them, if they won't and if they will do it maybe give a not really precise period of time. Answers always  encourages people to ask and given that nobody is the position to  demand for something here at least people who cares (who posted the bug cares ) may know what will happen.
