SUMMARY On Neon testing If I have a stopped activity, it cannot be started again. Pressing on the activity icon in the "Activity Switcher" blinks the screen but otherwise does nothing, as well as using the D-Bus command `org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.StartActivity {UUID}` STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have more than one activity 2. Open the activity switcher (META+Q by default) and press the "Stop Activity" button for one of the running activities 3. Open the activity switcher again (if it closed) and press on the activity name under "Stopped Activities" OBSERVED RESULT Nothing much happens EXPECTED RESULT The stopped activities should start and switch to SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-45-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A workaround is to stop kactivitymanagerd, then edit its configuration file ~/.config/kactivitymanagerdrc and move all the stopped activity UUIDs from `stoppedActivities` to `runningActivities`, then start kactivitymanagerd again. If there are applications that are running on the stopped activity, they will not become accessible again.
