Description Manish Jain 2020-07-25 03:12:17 UTC

If you minimize a few desktop windows by clicking the Show Desktop widget, they quite rightly get minimized to the taskbar. Clicking on any one of these minimized windows should logically restore that window. However, the current behaviour is that all minimized windows get restored to the desktop simultaneously in one shot, which I find quite irritating and undesirable. May I request the behaviour be kindly changed ?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a few windows on the desktop.
2. Click the Show Desktop widget icon.
3. Click one of the minimized windows in the taskbar.

OBSERVED RESULT
All minimized windows get restored to the desktop simultaneously in one shot.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only the window that was clicked in the taskbar should have been restored.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux 19.0/Plasma 5.18

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This issue was originally reported as #424628 under an incorrect category (Active Window Control). The issue is being re-filed under the correct category now.


Thank you,

I think this bug has been reported in error. Plasma actually has two separate widgets for this - Show Desktop and Minimize All Windows. The second widget has the functionality I desire. Am closing the issue as resolved.
