Details

When 2 or more browser windows are open at once, the "open windows" toobar does not work correctly. When the user clicks on the title of another open window, if the window is minimized, it will be selected in the windows toolbar(where the "start" button is located), but will not restore. I am running Windows NT 4.0 SP6a with Internet Explorer extensions installed.

I was about to verify this as a dupe, but wondered ... this an NT report and it is resolved to 2 Linux bugs. Can we assume it is the same thing?

Results: the second window's taskbar icon (windows taskbar) gets focus but the window is not Maximized so you still see the first window but it has lost focus.

Additional Information: The same behavior can be seen in switching to a minimized window via the Tasks menu

Summary: Open Windows Toolbar dosen't expand minimized windows → Switching to minimized window doesn't restore it
Windows NT: open two browser windows, minimize one, click on it in the taskbar. It restores. I think that's what this bug has turned into. Works for me today. Closing.
