Bug Description

This happens in Linux Mint Mate 64bit 18.xx and 19.xx Series. Very disturbing to me because I like Mate so much, and, that not more people are reporting it is really weird to me. Here is one link where some on the Mint Forums are talking about it.

When File Manager is Minimized into the Panel it cannot be Maximized from there, this happens only after Opening the Mate Menu. I constantly have to Right Click "Close" File Manager and start over. The File Manager Icon Text also becomes BOLD for some reason. This only happens under these conditions:

1. Opening File Manager into a directory of some kind, seems like for me it is usually an External Flash Drive.

2. Minimizing the File Manager.

3. Opening the "Menu" once or twice.

4. Try to Maximize File Manager from the Panel and it won't.

5. This has been an issue ever since Linux Mint Mate 18.xx.

I just checked and this does not affect Manjaro Mate 64bit. The only difference that I know of between the two is that Mint Mate has the ability to highly customize the Menu.
