Quake window doesn't know it was minimized #10689
Description
Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 10.0.19042.1110 (2009, 20H2) WindowsTerminal: 1.10.1933.0
Other Software
TCC.EXE
Steps to reproduce
From TCC.EXE (JPSoft) running in the Quake terminal, issue activate "%_wintitle" min (_wintitle would be the console's caption if I were in a console; WindowsTerminal uses it as the tab caption).
Expected Behavior
I expect the quake window to be minimized and the taskbar icon to disappear.
Actual Behavior
Either of these give the expected behavior:
- SendMessage, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE
- ShowWindow, SW_MINIMIZE
But in response to TCC's ACTIVATE command, the quake window is minimized but the taskbar icon doesn't disappear.
I don't know exactly how TCC's ACTIVATE command works but I've attached a log (plain text) from Spy++ showing what the CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS class window sees after that command is issued.

This is by design. The
_quakewindow doesn't show up in the taskbar, so it needs to have the tray icon be visible when it's minimized, so that it's still accessible. This was added in #10179, and is going to get some additional flexibility in #10368.vefatica commentedon Jul 19, 2021
Yes, I know that's how it should work, but when minimized with TCC's
ACTIVATEcommand , the window itself disappears, GetWindowPlacement says it's minimized, but the TASKBAR icon is still there (in addition to the tray icon).DHowett commentedon Jul 19, 2021
Mike Griese (@zadjii-msft) we probably need to detect when weird software tries to minimize the quake window and trigger a disappear instead of a minimize.
