@jimunderscorep In the upper right corner there are 3 buttons (or icons): minimize, maximize/restore and close.

@leocg Thanx, You are right. So the problem will be as follows: when I click on "minimize" the window closes the same way as when I click on "close".

Launch opera from a termina (= open a terminal, write opera, press enter, leave the terminal open) and try to minimize it. Then post what the terminal says.
I am pretty sure opera does not close on minimize, but crashes, so expect the terminal to show "segmentation fault" or something like if when it does crash. Also, what distro are you on?

@jimunderscorep When I print opera in terminal it opens window with Speed Dial Tab.
Then I try to minimize terminal and the terminal closes.
Then I try to minimize window with the Speed Dial tab and the window closes as well.
My distro 19.04 -

@jimunderscorep Moreover, Thunar file manager closes as well when I try to minimize its window. Maybe I just don't know where to find minimized windows?

So, its not just opera that crashes on minimise, the (gnome-)terminal and thunar also crash. It will may be an issue with gnome's windo manager...
What does it say in the terminal once it crashes? -

Followup: I don't use actual Xubuntu, but I do have XFCE available in my desktop. Their version seems to be more like Gnome than the one I recall - it has a taskbar which shows minimized (and regular) windows. The old version I remember didn't, you only got a list of windows by middle-clicking somewhere on the desktop. (Middle-click still does that in this version.)
One of the problems with Linux is that I can't be sure what options Xubuhtu uses as opposed to Mageia with XFCE, so you may or may not have a taskbar yourself. If you don't, then middle-click on the desktop should work.

@jimunderscorep Unfortunately forgot to specify my distro in full. It's Xubuntu 19.04. So middle-click on desktop finds minimized window. Rather unusual trick ))

For the record, what you do not seem to have is a "list" of your open apps on your taskbar. That is why something dissappears when you minimize it.
You can get the switching behavior of the middle click on the desktop with alt+tab for instance, if middle-clicking all the time seems weird for you.However, I would suggest adding the "list" of open apps to the panel. Right click on a blank area of it > add to panel > window buttons (I think that is how xfce calls it).

@jimunderscorep Yes!!! Thanx a lot. I followed your advice and added windows buttons. It solved the problem most convenient way. Alt + Tab also keep in mind just in case ))
