Remmina remote desktop window not visible when using ALT-TAB

[Federico Tello Gentile]

Binary package hint: unity

When connected to a remote desktop using remmina, you can use full screen mode. There's a menu on top of the full screen window when the mouse hover over there. There's a minimize option and it works, remmina's remote session windows goes to the dock, but in that state ALT-TAB does not show remmina's minimized windows as a option to switch.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open remmina
2) Connect to a remote desktop
3) Activate full screen mode
4) Move mouse over the top center of the screen and press minimize
5) ALT-TAB to go back to the minimized window (you can't)

If the windows is not in full screen, the bug does not appear. I guess the full screen mode fools unity or compiz.

This is no longer an issue in 11.10.

[Marlon Costa (marlonsc)]

This problem returned in Quantal.

When I disable the tray icon in Remmina, the minimized window is accessible.

[Laurent Dinclaux (dreadlox)]

It isn't fixed. Disabling the tray icon in Remmina is a working work around but the issue is still there

[Francesco Muriana (f-muriana)]

This bug also affects MATE and XFCE desktops, so it's not related to Unity

[Tiago Ramos (tiagolramos)]

#5 is confirmed

Disable the tray icon or Disable minimize to tray , is o working work around

[Karl Frisk (karl-frisk)]

Still not fixed in trusty. If no one will do a proper fix, why not simply disable "minimize to tray" by default or remove that option alltogether?

[Giovanni Panozzo (giox069)]

In remmina 1.2 (not yet released), we removed the "Minimize to tray" option.

Here is the removal announce: http://sourceforge.net/p/remmina/mailman/message/32754712/

And here the instructions for installing Remmina 1.2 PPA ("next" branch) on Ubuntu: https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/wiki
