Bug Description
Below is my script:
wid1=xdotool getactivewindow
sleep 10
xdotool key --window $wid1 --clearmodifiers ctrl+a
sleep $1
xdotool key --window $wid1 --clearmodifiers ctrl+a
sleep 2
xdotool key --window $wid1 --clearmodifiers ctrl+f
xdotool type "Save"
sleep 2
It works when window is active and does not when I minimize the window.
