8 years ago The client will likely react badly to the unmap by the distant VD, but not being set hidden (for it's not minimized) I assume this doesn't happen if you minimize the window before altering the VD?
Compositing WMs will rather not unmap the client, because (a) they don't have to (since they control visuality differently) and (b) it allows the to provide a "live" thumbnail of the window.
In case you cannot determine what's going on, can you please link the application vendor (ie. where to download it from)?
I'm no way gonna run some windows exe linked to a bugreport. Really no offense intended, but this is the internet - trust is punishable by ransomware ;-)

When I switch to another workspace the application folds into a bar. It behaves a bit like its window is closed. It reproduces every time. It works rather properly in fluxbox version 1.0.0 - the application's window remains maximized when switching back to workspace.
It works 100% correctly with XFCE and Unity. I tested it only by changing the window manager. The remaining system components were unchanged: ARCH linux kernel 4.4.5-1-ARCH xorg-server 1.18.3-1 xorg-xdm 1.1.11-6
fluxbox 1.3.7
The application allows setting of toolbar's display behaviour but it causes that the application window disappears when switching workspaces (even worse behaviour). This is MS Windows application and I run it under wine (version 1.9.7-1). The application is attached. It is a trial version but after delivering the key it fails in the same way. In all cases the application runs, only its window disappears.
