OK, so what this comes down to is - Conceptually, why can't a minimized
window be main? What is the UI reasoning behind this?
After all:
1. It can be unminimized and then made main
2. When being unminimized from the Dock, it automatically becomes main
straight away (i.e. the user doesn't have to do that in two stages)
3. Likewise, when a minimized window is selected from the owning
application's own Windows menu, it is also made main.
As such it is surely the expectation of the user that this is the expected
behaviour, yet Accessibility enforces this to not be so.
Please try to put fewer roadblocks in the way of developers using AX. Leave
it to us to decide what is the most appropriate behaviour for our apps.
