#274 `Hide on minimise` option freezes system
The Hide on minimise option freezes the system in Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3.
It's possible that this is a compatibility conflict with the defaultSystem Tray applet.
STR:
1. Save all your work in all apps. You may be about to freeze!
2. Enable the Hide on minimise option in WCM 24.02
3. Minimise WCM to the tray by clicking on the minimise button in WCM's titlebar.
4. Click on the WCM icon in the system tray.
5. At this point, the system becomes unresponsive, except the pointer will still respond to movement (but not button clicks).
OK, this is "special" and seems to be a bug in the wxWidgets framework. There is a method to check if the taskbar ion is available on the dedicated platform. But this returns true on LinuxMint although there isn't. Actually I had implemented this to be checked already for Ubuntu where it seems to work. Therefore: I cannot o anything about it and hope that the next update of wxWidgets on Linux will resolve this issue. For now, you can and should disable the taskbar icon in the options.
