Bug Description
I am on Nvidia Proprietary Drivers, using 12.04 beta.
How to repeat bug:
1- Open CCSM, choose Scale/Bindings. Choose "Click Desktop to Show Desktop" (acticate it if not chosen yet).
2- Open multiple instances of same app (say Writer).
3- Click app icon on Launcher Panel. It will lay out opened windows as expected.
4- Click it once more, now it minimizes all windows. This is something that does not happen normally ( but at the same time it is what a lot of people wants launcher to do, but there is a catch).
After doing that, regardless of you clicking app icon or pressing super+w, none of your minimized windows will appear except the last one you interacted with. They are lost, all you can do is to press "alt + ` ", but "super+w" will still omit these windows.
There are similar bugs regarding broken minimizing behavior on Nvidia, but I am filing this separately since this is happening specifically because of a binding in "Scale Option" on CCSM. It is not a random broken behavior.
