Bug Description

Sometimes, when switching from the currently active app to another app (via Alt+Tab), the previous window is closed automatically by the operation system, and I can't get it back even though the process stays alive, which makes me have to kill the current process in order to get the app running appropriately again.

This is one of the instances of this problem, that happened to me:
1. I was working with a text file in geany;
2. Switched to WingIDE, via Alt+Tab;
3. Held Alt and hit Tab to go back to the geany window, and it was gone, not even in the sidebar

Thanks,

Diogo
