SUMMARY
KWin Windows Rules occasionally ignores and removes my first rule. I've explored duplicating the rule several times, and it still happens, but only occasionally. I have not observed it deleting any rules except the first one in the list.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create my rule (attachment KWin rule settings.png).
2. Click Apply.
3. Reboot.

OBSERVED RESULT
KWin Windows Rules occasionally ignores (i.e. it does perform the actions I've set) and removes my first rule. I've explored duplicating the rule several times, and it still happens, but only occasionally. I have not observed it deleting any rules except the first one in the list.

EXPECTED RESULT
My rule actions should be performed, and the rule should stay in the list.

Thanks for your bug report!

Can you also please post the contents of '~/.config/kwinrulesrc' before and after the deletion happens?

This will be very helpful to try and find the cause of the issue.
