GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 655446
Top panel not visible after minimizing vmware workstation from fullscreen
Last modified: 2011-07-27 21:41:37 UTC
I am using gnome shell 3.0.2 in Fedora 15. When vmware workstation is running in fullscreen mode and there is no other application running in the same workspace then clicking the minimize button on vmware workstation will minimize the application but the top panel is not visible. Moving the mouse to the hot corner also won't show the overview mode of gnome shell. Only option is to press windows key to open Overview or switch to any other application running on other workspace. Then the top panel will be visible. If any other application is also running on the same workspace with vmware workstation, then minimizing the vmware workstation from full screen mode will show the top panel and other application will be in focus. The issue occurs only if vmware is the only application in the workspace.
Created attachment 192771 [details] [review] chrome: Ignore minimized windows when updating visibility The current check for fullscreen windows ignores the window's minimization state, so that chrome which is hidden in fullscreen will always hide if the window on top of the window stack is fullscreen, even if it is actually minimized. Instead, skip minimized windows when looking for fullscreen windows.
Additional note: this is a general problem not at all related to vmware - it can be easily reproduced with any fullscreen window after assigning a shortcut for 'minimize'.
