I am currently using an eclipse configured as multi window to span multiple desktops. This works correctly: - The second window is not recognized as independent application, but only one task manager entry is visible. - When doing a right click -> minimize on the task managers entry, both windows get minimized - When hovering the task manager only the main window is shown in the preview. This is not working: - When trying to restore eclipse by clicking the application in the task manager only the second window is shown. There is no possibility to restore the main window using the task manager. Workaround: - Use Alt+Tab through the all windows and select the main eclipse window (here both windows are listed separately). I am currently using: - kde-frameworks 5.34 - qt 5.7.1 - eclipse 4.6.3 (Neon)
Created attachment 105567 [details] example screencast here is a scree cast that shows the problem.
some interesting detail (also shown in the video): after minimizing the window, and restoring (partially) it by clicking the entry, it is not possible to minimize it again using the task manager.
These are most likely Eclipse bugs, but I'll try to find some time at some point to install it and have a look.
You could help that process BTW by telling me what I need to set up in Eclipse to recreate your setup.
- Install / Open Eclipse - choose some workspace file system location - close the welcome tab - drag some view (i.e. a tab) like "console" out of the main window. This will create a second window. - minimize the application over task bar - try to restore the application by clicking the taskbar
I have investigated the problem a bit further and was not able to reproduce the issue on another machine. Seems, that I had a window rule installed that had "ignore requested geometry" set to force/true. After removing this, the task manager works as expected. Is this still a bug then, or should we close this as invalid? I am not sure what "ignore requested geometry" actually does in this context.
Honestly I don't know either, but it sounds like it's a window manager thing then, not related to the Task Manager - the Task Manager just tells the window manager "please unminimize" ... Thanks for the follow-up!
