[unity] minimizing an application doesn't make it lose window focus

[Marcos Magalhães]

Binary package hint: unity

Minimizing an app using the unity panel will make it remain as active window: Its name will remain showing up in the panel, the launcher will indicate it as not minimized and mouse and keyboard inputs will be attached to it.
When the launcher is not set to never hide, making the launcher appear will make the minimized window lose focus.

I've never seen this happen. Does this happen with all applications or just some? Is it true for both maximized and floating windows?

I have same problem too. Every window which are minimized doen´t lose focus (for example firefox). Isn´t possible unminimize this window by clicking on the icon in launcher. To unminimize window is necessary click on desktop or any other window and after that is possible unminimize firefox from launcher.

I'm no longer able to reproduce this on a up-to-date system. I tried changing the panel behaviour to Never hide, Dodge Windows and whatever. Still nothing.

closing as you are not able to reproduce the issue anymore.

[Doctor (zoidbergdoctor)]

I can still reproduce this bug on my fully updated system.

The same happens, if the application is closed - the title and focus stays on the closed app.
