Description

  • This error only occurs when using Openbox, so start it using "openbox --replace"
  • Start any application (like "gedit")
  • Go to "File > Open" (the "Open File" dialog will appear)
  • Start some application wich covers gedit windows.
  • Now, try to switch back to gedit using the buttons on xfce4-panel. Nothing will happen.

Any other "dock" or panel operating inside xfce can do the job, only xfce4-panel can't do it.
