 Windows 7

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello.

Win+M shortcut in Windows minimizes all windows (see
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/keyboard-shortcuts#keyboard-shortcuts=windows-7
for
example) . However the emacs frame, while in fullscreen (F11) mode, is not
minimized. If emacs frame in full size (M-F10) mode, then it is minimized
correctly. The "Show Desktop" command from context menu of taskbar mimizes
all windows correctly, even then emacs frame is in fullscreen mode.


1. emacs -Q
2. Press F11 or M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen
3. Press Win+M
3.1. Expected results: all windows are minimized and desktop shown
3.2. Actual results: all windows are minimized, except for emacs frame

(This was reported 6.5 years ago but unfortunately never got a reply at
the time.)

I unfortunately can't test this as I don't have access to a Windows 7
machine.  Are you still seeing this on a modern version of Emacs such as
the recently released version 27.1?

Thanks.

Best regards,
