How do I get Chrome to un-minimized when activating an existing or opening a new tab?












0















I have 18.04 installed with default Gnome desktop. When Chrome is minimized and I click on a link in terminal or via my IDE, Chrome opens a new tab for the link but stays minimized. When this first happened I kept clicking and opening new tabs in the minimized window. I see the same problem if I try to open a tab from task manager or tab management extensions. In all cases, the window stays minimized and doesn't open as I'd expect. What's going on here and how do I fix this behavior? I searched and searched and was unable to find this reported anywhere.
