Bug ID: 427840
Summary: Minimizing a window doesn't move it to the bottom of
the Task Switcher (alt+tab) list anymore
Product: kwin
Version: 5.20.0
Platform: Mageia RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: tabbox
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jan-b...@gmx.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For the longest time, before Plasma 5.20, minimizing a window moved it to the
bottom of the alt+tab list, which in my workflow meant "I don't want to access
this window anytime soon". Now, that's no longer possible and requires some
muscle-memory re-training, which makes me go back to the "pseudo-discarded"
window all the time.

I'm sure the new behavior makes sense to a lot of people, but this was
well-established behavior, that some of us count on :'(
Thanks for listening.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your task switcher's "sort order" to "recently used" (I believe this is
the default)
2. Open at least 3 windows.
3. Minimize one of them.
4. Press/hold Alt+Tab to see the task switcher.
OBSERVED RESULT
The window you just minimized is the next option in the list. If you press
alt+tab and release quickly, you'll just end up going back to the minimized
window.
EXPECTED RESULT
The minimized window should (optionally, if you wish) go to the bottom of the
list.
