When this happens, I expect to see the > window for that tab. If it's the active window, you're already seeing it, right? So you want it to do nothing in this case? That's correct - the window is being displayed, though I do not realize it. Doing nothing would be just fine. This would be so much better than seeing the contents of another window. A quick blink or flash of the tab or the tab's current-window indicator might offer good feedback. Grateful either way :-) I would actually not mind having feature myself--especially when using an Icons-Only task manager more or less replicating the macOS Dock paradigm. Submitted a MR to implement this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/127 Git commit 07e977698d1da023b902f6330e7c647f8ffd065c by Nate Graham. Committed on 24/08/2020 at 18:10. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [applets/taskmanager] Make minimizing the active task on click optional When this new option is flipped off, clicking on the active task will do nothing instead of minimizing it. This is the behavior of the macOS Dock, and adding this option finally makes it possible to perfectly replicate its behavior in Plasma, in conjunction with the new default "cycle through grouped tasks on click" option. Being able to do so is useful for theme creators making macOS Global Themes of which there are tons and tons, or people switching from macOS who want to generally use a Plasma look and feel but want to replicate the behavior of the Dock that they became accustomed to.
