Description of problem: Drop down terminal is sometimes not rendering and I have to kill it in order to start the new one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-terminal-0.8.0-1.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce (in Xfce): 1. Maximize a window (probably any, but tested with Chromium and Geany) 2. Run `xfce4-terminal --drop-down` so that the terminal is rendered over that maximized window 3. Switch to a different virtual desktop Actual results: Terminal disappears. `xfce4-terminal --drop-down` does nothing. There is no way to display the drop down terminal other than killing the process and running a new one. All work in killed terminal and bash history is lost. Expected results: Terminal stays open. When it is disappeared, running `xfce4-terminal --drop-down` shows it again.
I think this may well have been fixed in 0.8.1, which is in updates-testing. Can you try a: sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update xfce4-terminal and see if 0.8.1 fixes this?
I had to download it manually but it fixes it, thanks.
I guess the bug can be closed?
Yep. ;)
