Operating System: e.g. Solus 3.9999
Budgie version: budgie-desktop 10.5 (git-aa0d4797ed3d630710afa0c4d7e3d672f317222a)

The issue encountered

If I have an instance of LibreOffice Calc and LibreOffice Writer open, each has its own icon in the panel but, if both are minimised, clicking on either icon brings up whichever of the two was last viewed, rather than the one corresponding to the icon.

Steps to reproduce the issue

libreoffice --calc X.ods &
libreoffice --writer Y.odt &
Click on the writer icon to minimise Y.odt (both are minimised)
Click on the calc icon to maximise X.ods but Y.odt appears.

I'm not able to reproduce this by launching through Budgie Menu, which is frankly the supported method for launching applications besides the Budgie Run Dialog. Steps I did to attempt to reproduce:

  1. Launched LibreOffice Writer
  2. Launched LibreOffice Calc
  3. Minimized Writer
  4. Minimized Calc
  5. Clicked Writer

As expected, Writer showed up, not Calc.

I was wrong. It does what I said it did if one just does libreoffice X.odt & and libreoffice &.ods &.

By way of explanation, I mostly run programs from the terminal with a file e.g. vim file, eog ./*.jpg &, or lalc office.ext &, where lalc is an alias to save typing (alias lalc='libreoffice').

I can understand that fixing this error in the logic to indulge my laziness isn't a priority but should this not also work from the terminal, especially when people will resort to it when debugging?
