The app window gets minimized when switching workspaces in Ubuntu.

Is there any possibility to "switch off" that "Minimize window and appear on all workspaces" when working on more than one workspaces and switching among workspaces? (Ubuntu)

 

Got the app running with a widow adjusted on one workspace and when I switch to other workspace the app is minimized (see a screenshot attached) and appears on all workspaces.

 

It's really annoying.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10, I found that when Zoom minimized the window (from changing workspaces,) I couldn't unminimize it.  Finally, I found the following under ~/.config/zoomus.conf:

 

enableMiniWindow=true

 

Try changing this to false.
