Consider you have many windows of the same type open. One method of switching between them is clicking the launcher icon which reveals the application spread. Now you can choose between the windows. This is how it should be.
However, the design idea was, if the windows are marked "Always on Top" there is no need for an application spread, as they are always on top. This is a bug and needs to be changed, because it does not consider minimized windows and therefore prevents switching to those windows.
If you have windows of the same application open, some of them minimized and ALL non-minimized windows are marked as "Always on top", the application spread does not work anymore, clicking the launcher does nothing. Whether the minimized windows are marked always on top or not does not matter.
So the simplest way to reproduce this bug would be:
1.) Open two windows of the same application.
2.) Minimize one and mark the other (non-minimized) as "Always on top".
3.) Try to switch to the minimized window using application spread
