Location of minimized sheet? - Solved

Post by Gladeous »

I minimize a spread sheet or the thunderbird email and can't restore the window as I use to with Ubuntu. I have to restart the spread sheet or thunderbird. Surely there must be a way to resize without restarting.

Suggestions?

Hi gladeous,

You give us minimal inormation. What version of Mint, Cinnamon, Mate, XFCE ? Please be a little more specific.
It is certainly not standard behaviour. I use 17.3 Mate and when I minimize a window, it shows up in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Clicking that brings the window back up.

Maybe you messed with your panels ?
As a test, you can try switching back to minimized programs by using alt+tab. This does not solve your panel-problem, but will show if progs are still active.

Oh, yes now I see the minimized pages show as bars. It is different from what I was use to with Ubuntu.

Thanks
