I meant to say xfce4 in my previous comment, not xfce3
@TimeTravel:Hi and thank you for your post.QuoteHowever, now when this happens, to recover, I just press the Ctrl+F6 keys to run the Autokey script .Thatīs a great solution. Thanks for sharing.Iīm still running xfce4-panel 4.16.3-1. So the problem I described still occurs, but not very frequently.Iīm using this workaround now:In the keyboard-settings-GUI I defined the two shortcuts I need:- CTRL+Alt+R for the command "xfce-panel -r"- CTRL+Alt+N for the command "xfce-panel"I need the second one only if the first one doesnīt have any effect, which might be the case sometimes.Many greetings from Rosika

Hi all, ...Has anyone of you encoutered anything similiar to that? And if so, could you fix the issue?Many thanks for your help in advance and many greetingsRosika P.S.:BTW: there are no log entries indicating that something would not be right. I looked for that with lnav.
The value of using a stable and supported platform with LTS status is much greater.
At worst it is a temporary inconvenience and very easy to work around.
can be rectified by hovering the mouse over a launcher in the panel, without depressing any mouse buttons: any erroneously missing window-buttons are restored.
An other way to rectify this bug without using xfce4-panel -r, is to right-click on the panel, and go to dashboard -> settings.When the settings window appears, "any erroneously missing window-buttons are restored, and any superfluous blank window-button spaces (left over from previously closed windows) are eliminated"
What do you think of it?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/staging
sudo apt updatesudo apt upgrade
xfce4-panel/jammy 4.18.2-1~bpo22.04 amd64 [aktualisierbar von: 4.16.3-1]
I think it is this xfce bug which should be fixed in in xfce4-panel 4.16.4 and 4.17.0
Another workaround suggested is to just hover the mouse pointer over the launcher area
normally just use Alt Tab to find the missing application and the panel eventually self fixes
