Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.22.0-2
Severity: normal
If you drag the current window's task list item to another location and
use the mouse's scroll wheel to switch to other windows and back to the
original window, it will minimize itself.
Since it's a bit hard to explain and it'll be a bit hard to understand,
here is a diagram of the task list:
[ Inactive window ] [ ** Active window ** ]
^ Drag with mouse to other position:
[ ** Active window ** ] [ Inactive window ]
Switch to the other window(s) with mouse wheel:
[ Active window ] [ ** Inactive window ** ]
(Perhaps a bit confusing, but imagine the windows really are labelled
like this and "Inactive window" is now actually active)
Use the mouse wheel to try to switch back to "Active window", and it
will become minimized instead.
