Minimize button doesn't work in 5.10.1 on Linux Mint

[Jasper557]

Summary

Bug report in one concise sentence.

Steps to reproduce

Download version 5.10.1 from this location:
https://releases.mattermost.com/desktop/5.10.1/mattermost-desktop-5.10.1-linux-x64.tar.gz

Extract to any location in your home directory - I will reference it as MT_CLIENT_DIR - the real path doesn't matter

Change permissions to MT_CLIENT_DIR/chrome-sandbox so the Mattermost client does not throw error during startup about incorrect permissions

sudo chown root: ./chrome-sandbox

sudo chmod 4755 ./chrome-sandbox

Start the application using MT_CLIENT_DIR/mattermost-desktop and log in to your server

Press the "Minimize" button in the top right corner

Operating System

Linux Mint

Expected behavior

The main Mattermost window gets minimized

Observed behavior

The main Mattermost window stays open - it only blinks for a moment

@Jasper557 I can't reproduce this one. Which version of Linux Mint are you using/which window environment? Are you on X11 or Wayland?

[Jasper557]

@devinbinnie
sry for the late reply.

MX Linux 23
X11

This is likely a window manager issue. Does Cinnamon work?

[Jasper557]

@devinbinnie
Yes, Cinnamon works.

@Jasper557 Sounds like a window manager issue then. Did it work in a different version of the Desktop App?

[Jasper557]

@devinbinnie Yes, I don't know exactly which version, but in I think 5.9.0 it still worked

[devinbinnie]

Can you confirm for me? If there's a regression I'd like to be sure. Thanks :)

Looks like it's fixed by #3157

[devinbinnie]

@Jasper557 Can you try the latest nightly? If it's working there, I might be able to cherry-pick it into the next dot release.

@devinbinnie it works in the latest nightly :)
