Description Teet Talviste 2016-07-22 07:25:43 UTC

Task manager honors "show only tasks from current desktop" too vigorously. Previously, when window demanded attention i.e. skype received a message or when clicking a web link in some other app, taskbar entry for that app was shown regardless of whether it belonged to current desktop or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable "show only tasks from current desktop"
2. Open browser
3. Move "some" app to other desktop
4. Click a link in "some" app

Actual Results:  
Web browser icon doesn't show in task bar. When navigating to the desktop where the browser resides, the icon is highlighted.

Expected Results:  
Web browser icon is highlighted and shown on all desktops. Clicking it shows the browser and changes current desktop to where the browser is.

The windows demanding attention are still not shown when they are in separate activities - this is a departure from the previous behaviour.
Unfortunately, I can't reopen this bug, so I'll describe the bug again:

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Konsole window
2. Switch to another activity
3. Open a terminal window
4. Issue "wall" command

Actual:
A message appears in the current terminal.

Expected:
A message appears in the current terminal and the Konsole task manager entry appears in the "demands attention" mode.

Additional info:
My task manager has the following options checked: "Show only tasks from current desktop" and Show only tasks from current activity".
Plasma version 5.7.3-2.fc23

The above fix was for virtual desktops, not activities. It needs a similar fix for activities, will do.

Exempt tasks demanding attention from by-activity filtering as well.
