xfwm4: gvim closes by toggling shaded

Hello world,

I'm not sure if it's a problem of gvim or xfwm, butt:
    if I toggle my gvim windows to roll up (shaded), it closes without save, instantaneously.

But: only if the gvim windows have the fokus!
And so far I see it only happens with gvim (Vi improved 8.0)

To reproduce it:
- open gvim
- enter into a terminal:
   

wmctrl -a "[Unbenannt] - GVIM"; wmctrl -r "[Unbenannt] - GVIM" -b toggle,shaded

    (change "[Unbenannt] - GVIM" to the title of your gvim windows)

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and xfwm4 version 4.12.5

Any idea what's may being happening?

Re: xfwm4: gvim closes by toggling shaded

Also happens if you just shade the window. It is a bug of some sort. See:

- https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/1392
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501519
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1785813

Not sure where the source of the bug is though (gvim, gtk3, xfwm4). You might consider creating a bug report against xfwm4 just to see what Olivier thinks.
