Problem with User Desktop taskbar and closing last form #835
Description

Hi,
When the last form on task bar in the user desktop is closed any subsequent forms opened do not display in the task bar. Tested with the 'UserDesktop' Example.
See attached screen.
Thanks,
Robin

Unfortunately you are correct. Thanks. Use this quick patch please. You can add it to Default.html or into a js file and add the file to a <script> tag in . This will be fixed quickly.
<script> Wisej.onLoad = function () { qx.Mixin.define("wisej.web.desktop.TaskBarPatch", { members: { // hides the taskbar when there are no visible children: task bar items. _updateTaskBarVisibility: function () { var anyVisible = false; var items = this.getChildren(); for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { var item = items[i]; var window = item.window; if (window && window.isVisible() && window.getShowInTaskbar()) { anyVisible = true; break; } } if (anyVisible) this.show(); else if (this.isAutoHide()) this.exclude(); }, } }); qx.Class.patch(wisej.web.desktop.TaskBar, wisej.web.desktop.TaskBarPatch); } </script>itg-assistant commentedon Jun 12, 2026
