STEPS TO RECREATE. Launch Notes App (Notes window opens). Minimize the Notes app window. From the dock, click on the Notes app icon If anyone is experiencing this, and knows of a fix, I would greatly appreciate it. Why do people think this is a problem or bug?!! It is normal behavior.
You click an application icon in the Dock, it is brought to the front in the state it was before. If the Notes window was open, it comes to the front.
If the 'Photo Browser' was open, it appears. All working as expected. You should not expect to un-minimize a window that was minimized. If you don't want it minimized, don't. Just Command-tab to another application, and then back to Notes, and everything works. Apple Footer.
