8 months ago UPDATE Plank still unusable, ergo xfce unusable for me at this point. I thought a second reboot would do it. I played with refresh rate, that solved the dot thing last time (but did not disappear the app gui like this time...). That did not work. Played with screen resolution as well. No luck.
Staudey
Please confirm there isn't an existing open bug report
Summary
no dots for open apps--no, wait it gets worse. if terminal or chrome is minimized you cant fetch it. a new instance launches instead.
disappearing dots and makes open apps disappear
Steps to reproduce
1) open terminal in plank, observe no dot on terminal in plank. 2) minimize terminal in plank and it cannot be retrieved. Plank opens up a new image.
Substitute terminal for: firefox, chromium, keepassxc, Thunar, and Libre Writer
6 apps, no dots active, all DISAPPEARED upon minimizing
Expected result
Open terminal, see dot, minimize terminal, bring it up later to see if its done with whatever task you made it do.
Substitute terminal for: firefox, chromium, keepassxc, Thunar, and Libre Writer
Actual result
Open terminal, see no dot at all, minimize terminal, go and press terminal icon on plank again, and a new instance opens and the original disappeared.

In Budgie writing this, I broke XFCE again (and it's up to date)

ME: Dear XFCE, every single time I try to spend time with you you snub me. XFCE: It's not you, it's me.
: EDIT: Plank works as it should in Budgie.
