[Bug 1448454] [NEW] Minimized windows are not accessible

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce (Ubuntu 15.04):

1. Launch three windows/instances of the same program (ctrl+alt+t).
2. Notice the indicator next to the application icon in the Launcher now shows three "tick marks".
3. Minimize the three launched programs.
4. Notice the indicator next to the application icon in the Launcher now shows one "arrow".

Now use Alt+Tab. One can access only one of the minimized programs.
Also holding Alt will not let one to select any of the other instances of the same program.
Using Alt+Section does not let one to select any of the other instances of the same program.

This means one can access the minimized programs only by popping them
visible, one by one, from the Launcher.

This behaves differently than in Ubuntu 14.10, for example.
