Description David 2021-09-01 02:00:57 UTC

SUMMARY
In latte 0.10.1, when there's apps with multiple windows grouped into 1 icon, it will not show the "+" sign below the app's icon until I right click the dock, select "Edit Dock", and close it (without making any changes).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a latte dock, configured to group windows of the same application together, and to use the current theme's style for signaling icons with multiple windows (vs. drawing its own circles above the icons).
2. Launch multiple windows of some pinned app.

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not show the green "plus" sign or any other sign in the app's icon to signal that it has multiple windows. However if I right click the dock, select "Edit Dock", and immediately close the menu that it opens, the plus sign will be suddenly drawn and will keep working for all apps for the rest of the session.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should show the green "plus" sign on apps that have multiple windows without having to enter the dock's configuration.

I actually cannot find the setting anymore. I changed it many versions ago and back then there was an option named liked that as I recall. I'm attaching a video showing the problem and the grouped indicators appearing.

Would it perhaps reproduce if you start the plasma session with kwin compositing disabled and then enable it later?
