Bug Description

When you switch workspace with an application minimized, the minimized application's icon reverts to the launcher icon, rather than the application icon. It's fixed by unminimizing the application.

Is "show all windows" checked?

No, it's set to only show windows on the current workspace. The problem arises when it re-creates all the icons for the applications on the workspace you're switching to. These all pop up with the Start animation too - I think it would be slicker if they were just there.

I also experience this issue even for applications that aren't minimized. It affects both the icon and the little title that appears when you hover over the icon. I concur with Sam that it would look better without the start animation when switching workspaces.

I will have a look at this when I have an opportunity. I would expect the following will provide a short term workaround for most users with this configuration: Open preferences, go to Task Manager, and from the Icons dropdown choose "Use best quality Icons"
