Details

Description:
Any windows I have minimized on Gnome (40) will appear as invisible in the Activities view. This bug only happens on Arch with Gnome 40 and not on other Gnome 40 distros.
I have the latest version of gnome-shell installed, but I don't know if previous versions didn't have this issue. On the latest daily build of Ubuntu (which has Gnome 40), this bug doesn't happen at all.
This bug happens on VMs and on real hardware (Intel driver)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
[Tested with the latest Linux and Linux-LTS kernels]
* config and/or log files etc.
[Tested with no extensions enabled - same result]
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
*Open an application
*Go to Activities and notice that the window shows
*Minimize the application
*Go to Activities and notice that the window doesn't show
- If you click on the location the window should be, the application will un-minimize and it will no longer be invisible in Activities

Other information: I have Gnome animations disabled

Same problem here.
If Tweaks->General->Animations is true, it behaves normal.

Carsten Holtkamp (Acry): are you on pure arch or an arch-based distro?
Comment by Carsten Holtkamp (Acry) - Wednesday, 15 September 2021, 16:08 GMT
Alex Schwartz (alexschwartz01): manjaro here
If you turn animations on, do they appear?
Comment by Alex Schwartz (alexschwartz01) - Wednesday, 15 September 2021, 16:20 GMT
Carsten Holtkamp (Acry): EndeavourOS here
if i turn animations on, yes the minimized windows do appear.
But on Ubuntu 21.10 and Fedora 34, it doesn't matter

Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig): Hey if there is any information you need to know, let me know

This looks like a upstream issue.
Comment by Alex Schwartz (alexschwartz01) - Monday, 20 September 2021, 16:10 GMT
Pretty weird that is affects Arch only
I tried this on Ubuntu and Fedora and dont have the issue
Comment by Alex Schwartz (alexschwartz01) - Friday, 01 October 2021, 14:49 GMT
Finally fixed with gnome-shell 40.5
