tray icon of minimized window
I attempted to open a pdf in Draw. It opened but the screen was maximized.
This, by the way is a flaw in and of itself. With the availability of 4K
screens, like mine, no one would ever want the windows to cover the entire
screen by default since the document only occupies a small portion in the
center.
Nevertheless, I clicked the icon in the title bar to restore the normal view
not realizing that Debian Cinnamon never bothered to implement the industry
standard of 3 sizing buttons (min, normal and max).
.
The next thing that happened was that the window disappeared from the screen.
It apparently minimized instead of going to normal view. The thumbnail showed
so little that it was impossible to tell what was going on. The file was
probably still open.
I used the rt-lick in the tray to close Draw, verified that the file was
intact, and then tried to open it again with Draw.
The screen-shot shows the tray. Clicking on the thumbnail does NOT restore the
window. If I rt-click on the tray icon and choose maximize, the window
maximizes. Double-clicking on the title bar toggles between max and min.
I tried dragging the title-bar, which on other apps, pulls it away from
maximized and restores the "normal" view. In LO, it is not possible to drag the
maximized window so there is no way to get the window to only occupy a part of
the screen.
This is, IMHO, a serious conceptual design flaw especially given that huge
screens, including double-wide curved screens, are becoming more common.
If this isn't or can't be fixed I will have no choice but to find a different
office suite. I anticipate a response to the effect that "we have no control
over how a particular OS or Desktop handles windows".
My response would be that the title-bar drag works in LO Writer and LO Calc but
it does NOT work in LO Draw.
