Re: [Bug 416567] Re: Taskbar module often does not show window in the list

 

as far as I can see from your debug, this window has the flag "skip taskbar"
on it when it is created. (the line "this window is timid" ^_^ ), and
therefore the dock skips it.
so maybe it remove this flag after, and the dock ignores this change.
that would be quite an awful behavior !

When a new window opens , sometimes , it does not show up in the taskbar and skips the list of the open windows.

This is very confusing when several windows are open and I only realize that the window is already open when i try to open the app again and it comes up from behind !
While i'v checked if it is a problem with the window skipping the panel window list too , but alas, its a problem *only* with cairo dock.
This is not specific to any app or any event , it is very random and I'm not sure how to debug this issue.

This is not a new problem , I'v been facing this problem since version 1

Workaround:
Restart cairo-dock > now the app is shown in the list of open windows.
