302172 - Windows are not restored via the window menu after they have been minimized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 510221

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Anthony Kinyon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: 1.0.6 Firefox for OS X

I have installed Firefox 1.0.6 on a new Mac Mini from Apple running OS X 10.4
Tiger.  System has 1 gig RAM, stock video 32 meg ATI card, 80 gig hard drive,
SuperDrive (DVD burner bult in), and a 1.42 GHz CPU (fastest Apple offers on Mac
Minis).  I have OS X Tiger 10.4.2 (latest update from Software Update in the Mac
menu).  I believe this happens all the way from 10.4.0 to 10.4.2 of OS X.

When I have Firefox open, everything seems OK except if I minimize a window, I
cannot restore it by clicking on "Window" and selecting the appropriate window I
want to restore/open/maximize.  It simply stays minimized.  This happens
regardless of the URL I am on, even if it's www.google.com or any other site. 
Besides this, Firefox seems to run fine on the Mac Mini with OS X 10.4 Tiger
(10.4.2 technically).

I have reproduced this dozens of times since 1.0.6 came out.  It never has
worked, in fact.

Furthermore, I am the admin on the computer so it can't be a permissions problem.

Other apps restore to the pre-minimized state just fine, it only happens in Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any URL in Firefox 1.0.6
2. Minimize the window the URL is open in.
3. Click Window, select the minimized window. It won't restore/maximize back to
how it was.

Actual Results:  
It stayed minimized, didn't work.

Expected Results:  
Restored the window to the size it was before being minimized, in the same
position on the screen.

I have given all the information I can think of.  If you need more info let me
know.  This happens regardless if other apps are running or not.

I submitted the bug from a Windows system running Firefox 1.0.6 - but the actual
system having the problem is a differeing machine.  Please don't be confused by
the reported User-Agent I sent the bug report from.

Of course.  The window restores if you have ANOTHER window open, but not if you've minimized your only window.

I cannot restore any of the minimized windows. All of them are still sitting in the dock whether how often I select the entry in the Window menu.

Checking other Apple applications shows me that they display a little diamond right before the window name when it is minimized. I cannot see it in Firefox. Isn't it a native menu or do we have to take care of it?

Which is the right component we can place this bug into?

It might be either Cocoa Widgets or Toolkit (since a lot of the Dock code is in toolkit/xre/MacApplicationDelegate.mm).  For the time being lets make it Cocoa Widgets.

I have the nagging feeling this is a dup ... or some other bug is a dup of this.

Bug 262201 is the oldest one I know of.

Of the bug Håkan just fixed, perhaps? ;)
