Slic3r window does not restore after having been minimized on OS X

[tcm0116]

Version

1.33.3-prusa3d

Operating system type + version

OS X 10.11.5

Behavior

The Slic3r window is not shown when attempting to restore it after having been minimized. To reproduce, click the orange '-' button to minimize the Slic3r window, then click on the Slic3r icon in the dock. The window should restore, but nothing happens. In order to get the window back, right-click on the Slic3r icon in the dock, select "Show All Windows", and then select the Slic3r window that is displayed.

I am not quite familiar with the OSX zoo, but I have tested it quickly on OSX Maveric over SVN and it seems to be working.

I'm running El Capitan. Mavericks is 10.9, so it may behave differently.

I was able to reproduce it using Maverick. I think it is the following issue:

I have to talk to bros Prusa. They are both OSX users. I have no idea how the dock thing is supposed to work. The OSX UI is utterly confusing to me, I feel worse than left handed when I have to do something with it.

I can confirm this issue in macOS Sierra.

Yes, talked to Michal Prusa, he explained to me how the OSX desktop is supposed to work. So I can confirm this bug.

I am not sure, as I am not an OSX programmer, but there seem to be an API required to make the maximize / minimize working, which is not available through the Perl API, namely
wxTopLevelWindow::EnableFullScreenView(), wxTopLevelWindow::EnableMaximizeButton() and wxTopLevelWindow::EnableMinimizeButton()

As it is being worked on a port of the Perl UI code to C++, this would once allowed me to call these functions directly from a C++ code. Let's see how the situation will evolve upstream.

[bubnikv]

For some reason it works now on the upcoming 1.42.0-alpha4. It was likely fixed in the latest wxWidgets.
Closing.

I am having the same problem with MacOS BigSur 11.5.1 and Prusa Slicer 2.3.3

Same problem with OSX Monterey, the window doesn't restore when you click on the dock icon, it should and 99% of OSX applications behave like this.
