Bug 360153 – xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.8.2: can't switch to an app that has multiple windows open when window grouping is enabled

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Gulotta 2011-03-23 15:02:18 UTC]

I have window grouping enabled in the Xfce panel.  If I open two or more windows of a single application, and then try to switch between windows using the panel, then nothing happens.  This problem happens with version 4.8.2 of the panel but not 4.8.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the Window Buttons preferences so that window grouping is enabled.
2. Open two windows of some app, like Terminal or Chromium
3. Try to use the panel to switch to one of the windows of this application.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The selected window is un-minimized if necessary and brought to the foreground.
