I'm having a problem with Guake.

When I accidentally use the hotkey to minimize and the focus is on Guake, it minimizes, this is not the problem, the problem is that I don't know how to recover it.

If I execute Guake nothing happens, I have to kill the process to be able to use it again. Killing the process also means losing all the previously opened guake tabs, processes running in them, etc.

There was a bug opened on the github page and when using CompizConfig Settings Manager on the Unity desktop, you can:

Open CCSM, and then uncheck the option for: General > General Options > Hide Skip Taskbar Windows

this is a screenshot of the CompizConfig Settings Manager General Options tab showing the mouse cursor hovering over the unticked box for the Hide Skip Taskbar Windows option. The popup hint menu reads Hide windows not in taskbar when entering show desktop mode. This box should be unticked or unchecked

Just tried it, the Toggle Guake visibility shortcut (defaults to F12) brings it back no problem. I guess you are used to opening guake just by clicking on its icon, not using F12.

EDIT:

More precisely you have to press F12 twice to bring it back from minimized state.
