Description Dmitry Vakhnin 2017-09-26 16:46:45 UTC
I have 2 activities. When I need to move window from 1 to another, I'm pressing right button and choose "Move To Activity". Now behavior is that window will move to another activity but it just get status "All Activities". Expected behavior is that window will move straightly to another activity.

I've been encountering a similar behavior for a long time (maybe since I've started using activities but I don't exactly remember). Moving a window from Activity A to Activity B requires two steps:
- First, move it to All Activities (note that clicking on Activity B in the menu moves the window to All Activities anyway)
- Second, move it to Activity B

I don't know if https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382802 is a duplicate of this bug too.

I would not consider this a bug, as a window can belong to more than one activity, which becomes clearer if you use 3 or more actibvities. Maybe you want to vote for this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271686

No, I don't need shortcuts. You can see normal behaviour for moving windows between desktops, but between activities I think that's a bug.
