Description Petter 2010-08-16 13:34:19 UTC 
When minimizing GIMP, all floating tool palette windows are not hidden. This occurs on Windows 7, 64-bit using GIMP 64-bit.
Comment 1 Tor Lillqvist 2010-08-16 13:47:00 UTC 
It is well known that gdk/win32 has troubles in implementing the more obscure corners of window state management. There probably are already bugs open that covers the various aspects of the problems. There just is a clear lack of developer interest/enthusiasm/resources to do something about that. (And I include myself in that.)

That you say "when minimizing GIMP" sounds like you haven't considered that one can have several image windows open at the same time. Do you mean when one minimizes all of them, or what? Anyway, please note that the *intended* behaviour is that exhibited on GNOME with the metacity window manager. That is what one should compare to. You can't just guess what the intended behaviour is.

I think this is a duplicate.
Comment 3 Petter 2010-08-16 15:12:18 UTC 
I don't have access to GNOME with the metacity window manager. But I cannot imagine that this is intended behaviour. I completely understand the lack of developer interst, though. 

I was refering to a single image window. If I have two windows open and minimizes one of them, the tool palettes obviously shouldn't disappear. If both are minimized, they should.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 556896 ***
Comment 5 Tor Lillqvist 2010-08-16 17:56:12 UTC 
That dupe resolution is wrong, surely, as the indicated bug explicitly is for Linux (I.e X11) only.
Comment 6 Michael Natterer 2012-01-08 21:03:04 UTC 
Please try GIMP 2.7.4 and report back, we won't fix 2.6 bugs any longer.
Comment 7 Petter 2012-01-08 21:53:04 UTC 
Seems to be fixed in 2.7.4
