Description Miłosz CLA 2011-07-06 11:16:47 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.5.1

I minimized Eclipse window and it appears in left bottom place of my desktop (not in taskbar). I could not restore Eclipse window - maximize button was not working.

Problem occurs also in RCP application which I have been developing.

Attached screen shows window after minimizing in described case (it should appear only on taskbar).

I also could not resize minimized window on screen.

Mmmh... Needless to say, I can't reproduce it.

From the screen shot it looks like the app has been sized to its minimum size rather then "minimized". 

Do you have some window manager installed?

At any rate, if this was a common issue in Eclipse 3.5.1 we probably would have heard it by now, so chances are it was something weird going on with the OS.

Please reopen if you get steps to reproduce or more info to help understand what happened.

Yes, but this happens after minimizing application. I could not resize application, restore button also didnt' work.

This problem occurs on 2 environments - Windows XP and MAC OS X Snow Leopard
