After further investigation and in the absence of any replies I concluded this is a forms bug and found a workaround, so for anybody else facing this problem:
It seems pressing the minimize icon both sets window_state to minimize
and issues a next_form in both 4.5 and 6I. When the next form is
activated and the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger fires a
get_window_property(:SYSTEM.EVENT_WINDOW,window_state) returns
MINIMIZE but, in Forms 6 only, the form is subequentlly returned to
window_state normal. I cannot find any trigger which is doing this and
the same happens with a new minimal form. I created a timer in the
WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger of 1 ms duration, in the
WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger I put a
set_window_property(:SYSTEM.EVENT_WINDOW,window_state,MINIMIZE). This
causes the rather strange appearance of the window coming and going
but at least it finishes off where the user want it, minimized.
