SUMMARY Windows are minimized instead of raised when clicking on the corresponding button in the task manager. The TaskManager and IconTask applets minimize the active window and raise inactive windows. I am using the "Focus Follow Mouse" feature. Thus, when I move the mouse cursor to the task manager to raise a window, it can happen that I activate the window by moving the cursor over it. Then, if I click on the corresponding button in the task manager, the window is minimized. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the window manager to "focus follow mouse" and disable the automatic raising of windows. 2. Create at least two windows. 3. Place the first window above the second one to cover the second one partly. 4. Move your mouse cursor over the second window. (Without raising the window by clicking.) 5. Click in the task manager on the button of the second window. OBSERVED RESULT The second window is minimized. EXPECTED RESULT The second window should be raised and only minimized when the window is on top. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Fedora 29 KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3
So you're saying that a window should only be minimized when you click on its Task Manager entry if it's on top rather than just having focus?
I would prefer this behavior, yes. I am not sure, though, if this choice would be everybody's preference. Thus, one could also provide an option in the configuration dialog. Anyways, I would be happy to have that feature.
Thanks for confirmation!
