The same happens here on kubuntu 13.10 with google chrome beta Version 32.0.1700.19 beta

Comment 2 FabiB 2013-11-29 14:06:31 UTC

ohh and
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE: 4.11.2 
x86_64

it happens also with the "icon-tasks" launcher

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2013-12-01 01:18:31 UTC

confirmed, for whatever reason the url associated with the shortcut ends up being just:
file:///
instead of something expected like
 file:///usr/local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop?wmClass=Google-chrome-stable

Comment 4 Grigoriadis Grigoris 2013-12-22 22:22:06 UTC

Workaround
--------------------------------
First un-check the "Show a launcher when not running" for chrome, if checked. 
Open chrome and right click the icon task manager widget -> "Icon-only Task Manager Settings"->"Launcher Matching Rules"-> "Add" -> "Detect Window Properties" select the chrome window. In the launcher select chrome application under internet category and press ok. Check the "Show a launcher when not running" for chrome application.

Grigoriadis, Your workaround works for the icon-only task manager, but not for the regular task manager since there is no "Launcher Matching Rules" option. Any workarounds for that?

Nevermind, I found a workaround here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=118633#p297598

This seems to work with Plasma 5. I think this bug can be closed.

Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2015-10-27 11:54:36 UTC

confirmed fixed here too, closing
