How to produce it. Minimize a window to the dock...now un-minimize it and hide the app immediately. You either need fast reflexes or you can hold down shift to slow the genie.



I let it out further originally...an IRC session in a Terminal window. I couldn't use the widgets but I could still type and highlight text in the half-genie'd window! The windows contort as the dock moves, you can't see it in my video though...the window needs to extend more.

    I just filed a bug report at Apple.com



    Bug ID: 2858245



    It goes into a bit more depth...affects Cocoa apps, do not force quit the dock unless you want an artofact on your desktop, quit or force quit the affected app, affects all versions of OS X 10.1.x...maybe earlier versions...

    This is just fun !



    I tried it with Mail

    The mailboxes drawer gets drawn normaly, side by side with the genied window.

    But the best is that you can still manage to select some text in the genied window !

    Actually, I put them there for background since my desktop is gray. I needed a varied background to show motion...

    You guys still minimize to the dock?



    WindowshadeX. It's all the rage!

    Another aspect of this bug:



    i reproduced it using a terminal window. One of them got stuck halfway out of the dock.



    Then I option-clicked the minimize button of another terminal window dropping them all in the dock. After I got them all back out of the dock...the original window I stuck is now both in the dock and onscreen! It's not half-genied anymore, but if I click on the docked version of it, the full version comes to the front, as if it's the windows taskbar...



    The zoom button still works...let's see what the minimize button does....



    wahaha it put a second copy of the window in the dock...and when i clicked on one of them, the OTHER one unminimized!



    What a screwy bug.



    Blah. Now my menus in Terminal won't work, and none of the other windows will come to the front. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    kaboom, Windowshade X allows you to do both.



    I have double-click as 'windowshade' and the button as 'minimize.'

    Eugene, I just saw the 10.1.3 bug fix list at macnn and I believe this bug is fixed in it.

    I don't think this bug is fixed. I see they fixed two other bugs though...one you very likely wouldn't ever see and one where a minimized window doesn't disappear after discarding that window...Never seen that happen though. We'll have to see once the update becomes available.
