Minimize an app and it disappears

K

I suspect that what I am about to describe has happened to others, so I am hoping that a solution will be fairly simple.

FYI, my system is FreeBSD 14.2 on a home-built computer. All hardware works just fine.

Until recently, the only thing keeping me from totally dumping Windoze had been that my favorite e-mail client, Pegasus, could not be made to work on my system. However, using Mizatumari, I have successfully installed and am running Pegasus now. And a hearty thank you to the developer of that software.👍

BUT, when I "minimize" my Pegasus window, although it appears to drop to the bottom just like others do, like Firefox, for instance, it completely disappears off the bottom of the screen and I can no longer find it to maximize its window.

In order to get back to normal operation, I have to completely reboot the system and start over.

Anyone?

minimize/maximize a window are typically functions of a Window Manager and unless I missed it, you have not stated what window manager/desktop environment you are running.
I think you need to provide that information before anyone can actually help you.
 
Yes. That was kinda dumb of me, wasn't it? :mad: I can only plead some form of illness....and I am 83 years old.

I am using MATE, which I really like.

So far, my project to get every computer in our home totally away from Windoze is well on its way to completion.

Thanks.
