I enabled minimize button with gnome tweaks. After a recent update, the button stops working.
When I disable pop shell from extensions, the minimize button works

  1. Enable minimize button
  2. Open tilix or chrome app (that's the one which I have knowledge about)
  3. Click minimize button and observe the behaviour

(3) Expected behaviour:
Minimize button should minimize the window

I have the same problem, workaround is disabling pop shell extension

I have the same issue, which has started 2 days ago also after an update. (Currently on: 20.04 LTS)

I have experienced it with:

  • VSCode 1.51.2
  • DB Browser for SQLite3 Version 3.11.2

I have also noticed that clicking on the Top bar causes the following:

  • If only one window is open and maximized, the mouse pointed teleports to the top left of the application windows (right under the Activities button)
  • If one window is maximized and the active window is not maximized, the mouse pointer teleports to the top left again, but the active window gets send behind the maximized window.
  • If there are no maximized windows, nothing happens.

Same issue here. Minimize button stopped working on about half of the windows 2 days ago after update:

I have also witnessed the pointer teleport to top left as well.

#843 closes the issue, let's wait or you can download dev branch and compile it manually (I did that)

You could also just add the staging branch that it's in:

  1. Clone https://github.com/pop-os/pop/
  2. run ./pop/scripts/apt add dev
  3. Once that dev branch is merged, remove the staging branch with the apt script: ./pop/scripts/apt remove dev
