Description John Veness 2024-04-11 14:53:23 UTC

SUMMARY
Since the Plasma 6 upgrade, when using the traditional Task Manager (not Icons-Only Task Manager), when launching some apps, the launch feedback is just an icon, not an icon with text beside it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a Plasma 6 session
2. Ensure using Task Manager (not Icons-Only Task Manager)
3. Launch Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
The launch feedback for Dolphin is just the Dolphin icon with the rotation circle over it.

EXPECTED RESULT
The launch feedback for Dolphin is the Dolphin icon with the rotation circle over it with the word Dolphin to the right of it.

I've just noticed what should have been obvious to me, which is that the apps that show the incorrect (icon-only) launch feedback are those that are pinned to the task manager. So if I unpin Konsole, the incorrect launch feedback doesn't occur, and if I pin KCalc, the incorrect launch feedback does occur. I have changed the bug title to match this.

Note that the launch feedback problem occurs however the app is launched, whether from the Application Launcher or from the pinned icon.

Thanks, can reproduce that.

Comment 4 John Veness 2024-07-06 14:34:00 UTC

This seems to have been fixed recently (I'm currently running Plasma 6.1.2, but not sure exactly when it was fixed).

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-07-06 21:00:01 UTC

Right right, there were definitely some changes that would have fixed this.
