Representation of minimized windows

Only the program icon appears, not the window representation

I've been having problems with windows not being represented correctly on the dock when they are minimised. I think at the moment it's specifically Firefox, but having only just installed ObjectDock Plus I haven't had a chance to try out all my programs!

If I click on the minmise window button on the program window the ObjectDock doesn't display the window representation. However if I click on the icon in the dock itself the representation is maintained.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks for any help

I believe that's the way it works. One way shows the window, one doesn't. It doesn't show the 'window' unless you click on the dock to 'tell it to'. something like that.

Normally it's just the opposite....click on the window's minimize button and it shows the screenshot with a smaller icon, left click on the takbar item shows the screenshot with a smaller icon, however, right click on the taskbar item and choose minimize and it just shows the normal size icon.

Having said that, there is a known bug with Firefox not showing the screenshot on the taskbar except with the left click.

Cheers fellas,

I think the problem might be Firefox itself as most of my other programs work correctly when using the title button and when clicking on the icon in the dock.
