Description Matthias Heinz 2023-07-20 20:40:55 UTC

SUMMARY

When starting plasma there are a few programs that are started automatically, like Firefox with several windows. Then I drag those windows around in the task manager bar. If I then open the launcher the window order in the task manager will get resetted to what it was like before.

I can then rearrange them again. Opening the launcher now will not change the order anymore.

The sorting of the windows is set to manual.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start plasma
2. Have some windows opened by some programs
3. Move the windows around in the task bar
4. Open the launcher (I do this with the Meta key)

OBSERVED RESULT

The windows should be resetted to their initial order.

EXPECTED RESULT

The window order doesn't change.

> 4. Open the launcher (I do this with the Meta key)

This only happens when opening the launcher with the hotkey. Clicking on it will not reset the order in the task manager bar.

Sorry we were not able to get to this yet. Is is still happening in a recent version of Plasma, like 6.2.5 or later? Thanks!

This seems to be fixed in recent versions. I'm closing the bug.
