Window disapears when minimized

[DG]

release: Ubuntu 11.10
pkg version: 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1
This seems to happen somewhat randomly. I minimize a window then I am unable to get back to it with the unity ?taskbar?. In essence it disappears. This has also happened with non-minimized windows which I can get to by getting the other windows out of the way by either minimizing or sending back.

I expectedI have not been able to reproduce it. It has happened with gedit and libre office writer if that helps.
I expected it to be accessible from the taskbar and have min/max/close buttons. If I clicked the icon it simply brought up a new instance (except for gedit: it opened a new tab) that behaved normal.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
