The wording was a little hard to decipher. This functionality is
definitely there (and probably implemented on purpose). Tested on 12.04.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: unity
- Unity launcher maximize all windows of the same application when they
- are all minimized and it doesn't allow to choose them in expo mode
- (scale windows?). But this feature works great when there is at least
- one window not minimized.
+ When one has multiple windows of the same application, clicking on the
+ launcher item will expose the windows of that application, allowing the
+ user to pick which one to focus. The expose also includes any minimized
+ windows.
+
+ However, if ALL of the windows of an application are minimized, then
+ clicking on the launcher icon does not yield an expose; rather, it
+ restores the last-minimized window of the bunch. Only after restoring
+ that window can the user click once again on the icon to activate the
+ window picker.
+
+ Even if all the windows are minimized, the window picker should activate
+ when clicking the icon so that the user may choose which window to
+ restore, just like any other multi-window circumstance.
