separate launchers disabled
The wierd thing is that I can almost create the original Plasma 5 behaviour sometimes. When I set sorting to 'Manually' in the Task Manager, and enable the 'Keep launchers separate'. I have all the pinned launchers to the left and they do not disappear (so not as I want/expect/as plasma 5 behaved). And if I then set sorting to 'Do not sort', I cannot change the 'keep launchers separate' setting, it's greyed out. And nothing really changes, I just cannot sort windows anymore. But if I then set sorting to 'Manually', and disable 'keep launchers separate', and then change sorting to 'Do not sort' again, and click OK, the behaviour is completely different than before. Now the pinned applications DO disappear when I open them. It's just that I can't sort them anymore. So even though 'keep launchers separate' is greyed out when sorting is set to 'Do not sort', the behaviour is different if you disable or enable it before you set sorting to 'Do not sort'. This feels like a bug? Can reproduce. The issue is kinda sorta intentional right now based on what the setting does, but that what it does is pretty incoherent IMO (see discussion in Bug 478851). I'm in favor of making it return to the pre-Plasma-6 behavior where launching an app makes its launcher disappear.
