Description skontar 2016-10-30 21:07:26 CET
I have encountered a weird behavior of dropdown version of xfce4-terminal after updating to version 0.8.0. 

I have F12 key bound to `xfce4-terminal --drop-down`.

When I have the dropdown open and press keyboard shortcut, the window disappears (which would be expected for some of them as they open a new application or give focus to another window, but would not be expected for others). After that, the dropdown is not accessible anymore using F12, I have to kill it to restore the functionality.

Shortcuts and commands that break it:

Super+t -> `xfce4-terminal`

Super+f -> `firefox`

Alt+1 -> a Bash script `move-to-desktop-and-activate 0` with the following content:
```
#!/bin/bash

xdotool set_desktop $1
window=$( xdotool search --screen 0 --desktop $1 "" | tail -n 1 )
xdotool windowactivate ${window}
```

Super+Space -> `xfce4-popup-whiskermenu`

Alt+tab -> Standard application switch

It worked fine with 0.6.92.

Please let me know if any more details are needed.

When this problem happens, even calling `xfce4-terminal --drop-down` from another terminal does not help. However, the original `xfce4-terminal --drop-down` command is still running according to `ps aux`.

Checkeg git version, and the issue is fixed there.
