When minimizing a window, not all windows in the group are minimized

Problems when using other applications

from Stardock Forums

In the settings of my Wallpaper Engine it is configured that the program pauses the background animation when opening applications, thanks to it I realized that when minimizing one of the tabs of the group, only it minimizes itself, and the rest for the system remain unfolded, as a result, the Wallpaper Engine animation still does not work. To fix this, I have to run through all tabs with Alt+Tab and hide them manually to make the animation work again.

Dear developers, can you fix this in the new version and make it so that the operating system hides all tabs at once?

So this is what happens when any grouped app's minimize button is used in a group.

Are you say this isn't happening for you, that they don't all minimize at the same time?
