Description Dave 2021-02-09 20:38:56 UTC

WHAT HAPPENS NOW:
Suppose you have 3 tasks in the task manager A, B and C. Tasks A and B are grouped. Currently task C is active and you wish to switch to task B. Clicking the grouped task icon won't raise either the A or B tasks.

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
On click, "Cycle through tasks" mode should raise one window, the last raised window in the group.

Huh, that's what it's supposed to do, and what it does for me in this situation. Are you using any non-default settings in System Settings > Window Management > Window Behavior? For example, focus policy or focus stealing.

Also is this an icons-only task manager or a traditional task manager?

Comment 2 Dave 2021-02-10 03:35:14 UTC

Yeah, it works like that now. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I had come back from using Latte Dock to a pure Plasma desktop and definitely experienced this for some time. It was an icons-only task manager, by the way.

By the way, you squished all my dear bug reports >:)
I want to file a bug that wishes that clicking a grouped task that wants attention raises the window that requested it. But I'm afraid that such a bug may have been already fixed in 5.21. I can't find a relevant report in a few simple searchs, though, or I can't think of all the similar keywords that may apply to it.

It seems I can't set this bug report to invalid myself.

Heh, yay!

Nah, that's not fixed yet, and it's a good idea to do. Can you file another bug report for it? Thanks!

Upon further inspection, I don't actually have a valid bug to report. I have to reproduce it with a software different to Steam to have a valid case. I will report it if I find it. But thanks for the notice!
