If i leave geany for another application(for example firefox) and click on the tasklist in the panel/taskbar for to reopen geany, then only the search dialog appear on the screen without the main editor window. the same doesn't happen if i use alt+tab to go back to geany; then both the main editor window of geany and search dialog appear together

i noticed this with another application (qalculate), which i also compiled with gtk3. i'm not sure if it's a general x-problem, gtk problem, or xfce. but i'm contacting something to do with xfceith xfce now

Cannot reproduce with Cinnamon desktop, suspect its an xfce error.

Did you have the search dialog opened before? Or did clicking on the Geany item in the tasklist open the search dialog initially?

Just asking to have a precise way to reproduce.

yes, i had the dialog open after going into the editor. but if i click the tasklist after going to another software and back, i only get the search dialog. which i have to close in order to get back to the main editor.

i have tried some different versions/new ones of xfce. but the situation remains the same, ty

The search dialog is non-modal to allow mixed searching/editing without reopening the dialog.

It would appear that XFCE may be getting confused by that, as I said it works on Cinnamon.

@krizoek what version of Geany are using? Also what version of GTK+ 3, and which window manager are you using, as well as which distro?

The output of `xfconf-query --list -c xfwm4 -v` could also be interesting. I suspect a specific Xfwm4 setting which is causing this bevahior. Interesting candidates are: `/general/activate_action`, `/general/focus_hint`, `/general/focus_new`, `/general/prevent_focus_stealing`.

i'm not really sure what i did, but i got it working. maybe some test packages from xfce made it not fully functional, i did revert back to some former versions of xfwm; but i compiled both xfce and geany with a new gcc as well (currently gcc 6.4). i had tried 7.1 and 6.3 before when i had the trouble. i'm running gentoo

ty for all your help.
