Hi :) It 'should' be really easy to "de-minimise". Writer 'should' have a small tab-type thing in your taskbar/launcher/panel/whatever to show that it's still open and clicking on that 'should' bring the document back.
If it's "just kinda disappearing" then maybe it's weirdly gone to a different workspace without taking you there at the same time. Try Ctrl Alt and the keyboard arrow keys Most distros give you 4 in whichever DE you happen to have chosen. SliTaz and some others might give just 2 so i press the Ctrl Alt left arrow about 4 times to see what is open on other workspaces. There is probably some fancy work-space switcher and if you just click and hold down on that it might show you all 4 workspaces at the same time. However, it just sounds like LO is just misbehaving, perhaps needs a dependency fixed or updated or perhaps a weird tweak or something or maybe an Extension misbehaving. On my version of LO on this machine it is behaving as you would expect so yours is not behaving normally.

OIC. Thanks, Tom! But why is there no simple way to de-Minimise a LO Writer session? > As to why LO is crashing in Mageia using KDE 4 i really have no idea. Well, it doesn't exactly *crash*, it just disappears from sight... I'll stick with the Mageia-3 LO for now, and try to avoid Minimising. -- /\/\aurice -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
