SUMMARY Starting kmail after it has been minimized doesn't show app window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start kmail and minimize to tray. 2. Restart kmail (either by icon, commandline, hotkey, etc). 3. Kmail window doesn't reappear OBSERVED RESULT Window doesn't appear. Taskbar has an entry, but alt-tab doesn't show an icon for kmail. You have to physically click the taskbar entry or alt-tab to the (empty) icon for the window to appear. EXPECTED RESULT Window should appear and be brought to front without any other action being required. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: yes (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Starting happening over the past year or so; I can't narrow it down any further.
No issue found. After starting then minimizing to tray, restarting KMail (from the applications menu or using alt-f2) restores the window.
I created a new user account, so the account is using all defaults. This is still happening.
It's also happening on 3 different machines with different setups.
Do you use a wayland session?
in systemsettings / "Applications" module / "Email Client", what's the setting ?
Only use X11; have never tested Wayland. Default app is Kmail in System Settings. As mentioned, I don't change any settings whatsoever, so it's all the defaults.
This seems to be fixed in the latest batch of KDE Neon releases over the past week or so. I will leave it open; you can decide whether to close it or not.
