Area(s) with issue?
Keyboard Manager
Steps to reproduce
In this example, I'm using KeepassXC, with the option of "Show a system tray icon" enabled, and "Hide window to system tray when minimised".
Assign a keyboard shortcut to run/activate the program when minimised to system tray (in my case, CTRL+ALT+K)
Activate shortcut.
✔️ Expected Behavior
KeepassXC window is restored from the system tray, as if re-running the program via its shortcut on the start menu/desktop.
❌ Actual Behavior
A hidden QT window is restored, and it is no longer possible to restore KeepassXC without completely closing the program and restarting it. This is likely down to an unexpected interaction between Keyboard Manager and KeepassXC, and an unusual method of keeping a hidden window available to auto-type passwords.
Other Software
KeepassXC 2.7.6
Notes
Unexpected window visibility behaviour is also seen with Keepass 2.56, making three normally hidden windows visible. It looks like the Keyboard Manager tries to make all windows from the program visible, whether they're intended to be or not.
