Bug Description
Note: this is intermittent and I don't know of a way to systematically reproduce this, but I've observed it dozens of times.
- I have two windows of the same program both maximized
- I click on the program's icon on the Launcher (one icon with two tips indicating there are two windows open)
=> the downscaled previews of the two windows are shown one on top of the other as expected
- I click on one of them
Expected result: the one I clicked should get focus and be brought to front (maximized, as it was)
Observed result: whichever I pick, only one of them, systematically always the same one, will get chosen. That is, if I click on window A, it's window A, if I click on window B, it's window A allthesame.
Additionally, the title bar on the top of the screen is not displayed.
I can click on the foreground window (which is not the expected one) and interact with it.
If I click on the top of the screen, where the window title is not shown, then the correct window will be brought to front (not sure this _always_ work, but I have observed it sometimes).
One thing that "fixes" the issue is to de-maximize both windows and then remaximize them.
I've only observed this on maximized windows.
