[Bug 1195518] [NEW] Window focus wrong after minimizing

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When you minimize a window to the launcher, it remains with the focus,
meaning that, for example, the global menu is the menu of the now
minimized window.

The focus should automatically go to the window immediately underneath
it or, if no other window is open, to the desktop.

When you minimize a window and then go to the global menu, it should be
the menu of the window being displayed on top now, but instead is the
menu of the app you just minimized. Clicking on the now-visible windows
(or desktop) is not possible. Therefore, when you have two maximized
windows, one in front of another, you can't serially minimize them by
repeatedly pressing the minimize button. The second click will fail,
because the focus is in an already minimized window.

Clicking on the application icon of the launcher *does* restore the
application. Also, using the window switcher or alt+tab shortcut also
restores the application.

Steps to reproduce:

1.- Open 2 different applications (never mind if they're maximized or not)
2.- Minimize the active one
3.- Try to interact, for example, with 2nd window or the desktop -> not possible (also note, the global menu still keeps the name and options of the application.)
