Description pitlochry 2016-07-20 09:37:48 UTC

I've set the option to keep launchers separated and to organize programs manually, but when I click a launcher, the launchers are NOT kept separate and the application opens NOT at the right extreme of the task manager. Instead it replaces its launcher at the position I've set it.

[FYI: If sorting is "Do not sort" behaviour is as expected, launchers are kept separate]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Task Manager Settings
2. Sorting: "Manually"
3. Set "Keep launchers separate"

Actual Results:  
Aplication replaces its launcher at the position of the launcher. Launchers are NOT kept separate and the application opens NOT at the right extreme of the task manager. 

Expected Results:  
Launchers are kept separate and the application opens at the right extreme of the task manager.

Sorry, I should have added that this bug is present since plasma 5.7.2 (since July 19). Until plasma 5.7.1 task manager showed the expected behaviour.

I don't use launchers on the Task Manager but since updating to 5.7.2 I noticed that new application windows' entries on the Task Manager are placed next to one another, not at the right end as they used to. Is this an expected behaviour? I don't like it, is there a away to set it to the old behaviour?

Comment 6 pitlochry 2016-08-10 18:38:59 UTC

I don't get exactly what you are talking about. Can you give a before/after screenshot?
I recommend upgrading to 5.7.3, many things were fixed regarding TaskManager, this update was a huge improvement.

Comment 7 Eike Hein 2016-08-11 02:52:18 UTC

It was a regression in 5.7.2-only, fixed in 5.7.3.
