Created attachment 145676 [details] screen recording of effects-overview behavior with minimized windows SUMMARY Desktop thumbnails at the top of the Overview will show windows even if they are minimized and aren't actually visible on that desktop outside of the Overview. This also affects the zoom-in transition when clicking and activating such desktop thumbnail, which will show those windows for the duration of the animation. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. enable Overview effect 2. open two different windows on the same desktop (e.g. Dolphin and System Settings) 3. minimize one of the windows 4. trigger Overview 5. click the desktop thumbnail at the top of the desktop where the minimized window is OBSERVED RESULT First, the desktop thumbnail at the top in Overview shows a preview of the desktop with all minimized windows visible, i.e. not representing the actual visual state of that desktop. Second, clicking the desktop thumbnail of a desktop containing minimized windows, will show the minimized windows during the zoom-in transition up to the very last frame of the animation - after which those windows will simply disappear in a split of a second. EXPECTED RESULT Desktop thumbnails at the top of Overview should represent the actual visual state of the desktop by not displaying minimized windows. Accordingly, the zoom-in animation when clicking a desktop thumbnail to activate a desktop should not display minimized windows either and visually transition into the actual state of the desktop.
