Summary0008645: Minimise a pligin window also minimises the main editor or mixer window
Descriptionminimising a plugin window causes the 'parent' (Editor/mixer) window to also minimise

If I open the plugin from the Editor, then minimise it, the editor window also minimises

If I open the plugin from the Mixer, , then minimise i, the mixer window also minimises
Steps To ReproduceTo reproduce:

Start a new Ardour project

Add a plugin to the mater strip (E.G. confirmed with ACE Compressor, Calf Vintage delay plugin, GX Flanger)

Edit the plugin (I think either generic or with custom interface - it doesn't matter)

The plugin will open on top of the main editor window.

Click the '-' in the top left of the plugin to minimise it.

Both the plugin and the window and the main editor window will minimise.

Open the mixer window - repeat the steps above.
Additional InformationI use two screens -maybe thats an issue?

I'm on Lubuntu 18.04, using Ardour 6.6 downloaded from you

I haven't tried every plugin!

Thanks for a great product. I don't think this has been reported anywhere else - which makes me wonder if/why it's only me.
I hope this does not waste anyone's time!

Keep up the good work.

Which window-manager are you using?

It should not be possible to minimize plugin windows in the first place (they do not appear in the task-bar, so you cannot show them again).
Here with debian/mate-desktop there is only a close-button (minimize, maximize actions are insensitive). see attached screenshot

Ah - I see.

I believe it's Openbox Window Manager.

To be honest, I think closing a plugin window rather than minimising it is fine (I just need to get used to doing it!)
If I close it, the main window does stay open - so I'm all good.

Attached is a screen shot of what I see.

By the way, the reason I reported this was because the minimise behaviour has worked fine for 'a while' - I guess i installed Lubuntu 18.04 30 months ago or so, and have used Ardour all of that time.

I think i noticed the change in Ardour 6.5. Upgraded to 6.6 the other day and the 'new to me' behaviour persisted, so thought I'd report it.

To be clear - I don't expect you to take any more action on this on my behalf at least!
Again - thanks for all you do.
