Description David 2022-06-22 19:36:31 UTC

SUMMARY
If I quickly middle-click an app icon in the taskbar more than once and there are no active windows of said app already opened, it will open only one window of the app.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the taskbar to use the icons-only task mager.
2. Configure the task manager to launch a new instance of applications when middle-clicking the icon.
3. Pin dolphin or similar to the taskbar.
4. Quickly middle-click the dolphin icon twice.
5. Repeat the previous step, but this time with one dolphin window already opened.

OBSERVED RESULT
If I quickly middle-click the icon twice when no previous window has been opened, it will open only one window. If I quickly middle-click the icon twice while there's at least one window of the app already opened, it will open two new windows as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should always open two new windows, since I made two clicks.

I tested this yesterday and can confirm. If Dolphin is not launched yet, double clicking middle click only launches one instance. If Dolphin is already running, double clicking middle click launches two instances. Not a huge bug, but inconsistent behavior.

I can confirm it.

Can't confirm anymore; this appears to be working as expected for me now in Plasma 6.5.
