Summary:	Cannot move tasks to activities from the panel
Product:	[Plasma] plasmashell	Reporter:	Szőts Ákos <szotsaki>

Version:	5.23.2

Description Szőts Ákos 2021-11-17 23:07:25 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a non-KDE/CSD window (like a browser) open
2. Have multiple activities available
3. Right click on the task manager entry of that window and choose "Show on activity", then choose a different activity to current one

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens, when you right click again, the tick mark remains next to the same activity name as before and the window didn't get moved to the selected activity.

Interestingly, it works for KDE/non-CSD windows when the same is tried from the title bar.

EXPECTED RESULT

Can move a CSD window to the selected activity.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211111
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.6-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Btw. I like the non-CSD title-bar solution much better because the local menu stays open during activity manipulation.

Comment 4 Alex 2021-11-24 14:31:41 UTC

I am not sure if Bug 419225 is fixed. It was about the consistency of the menu behavior in different places, i.e., taskbar and title bars and not about the bug of it not working.

Comment 5 Szőts Ákos 2022-02-20 10:10:08 UTC

I tested it in 5.24.1, but unfortunately even with the new menu structure this issue still remains.

I cannot move an activity to another one from the task manager either by using the checkboxes or the "Move to ..." menu entry. The window stays on the current activity and the checkboxes don't get changed either.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2023-04-11 21:34:55 UTC

This is definitely fixed now as of Plasma 5.27.4.

Comment 7 Alex 2023-04-11 21:37:46 UTC

Also works for me in 5.27.2

Also the title bar and panel menus are more consistent now, but the panel menu has no icons next to activities and the title bar menu has icons. I need to have a look if the related bug is still open.

KDE activity move bug

I upgraded to 5.27.4 from 5.26 and unfortunately, the same issue remains. Moving any (KDE or non-KDE) window to a new activity in the title bar works, but not in the panel.

I created a short video about it. Sorry, it's in Hungarian, but hopefully you can see the point.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2023-04-14 17:43:58 UTC

Ok so there may be a bit of confusion here. Clicking the checkboxes doesn't move the window to that activity, it makes the window *also* be on that activity. If you want to *move* a window to a different activity so that it's not on the current activity, you have to use the "Move to [activity name]" menu item that exists now. Unfortunately it's broken; see Bug 465423. We'll try to get that fixed ASAP.
