I'm not able to reproduce this on Plasma 6.4.5, with Intellij IDEA Community, installed via flatpak. The icon shows in the task manager, overview and grid view. How did you install Jetbrains Toolbox initially? Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say " task switchers (both my primary cover switch and secondary thumbnail switcher are missing the application icon)" Can you send a screenshot so we can make sure we understand what you're seeing? This is probably an issue with the installer from Jetbrains, but we'll see what they say. Thanks. (In reply to TraceyC from comment #1) > I'm not able to reproduce this on Plasma 6.4.5, with Intellij IDEA It does seem to be somewhat random. I actually can't reproduce it at the moment either, on Plasma 6.4.4. However, I've had the same situation in the past and then at some point the icon disappears again. Will see if that happens again. > Community, installed via flatpak. > The icon shows in the task manager, overview and grid view. > How did you install Jetbrains Toolbox initially? I installed it from the .tar.gz downloaded from https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/. I don't use Flatpak for it. > Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say > " task switchers (both my primary cover switch and secondary thumbnail > switcher are missing the application icon)" The task switchers do not show the icon. This is reproducible right now even though the icon is at the moment showing in the icons-only task bar. So it seems to be a related issue, but clearly different in some way. > Can you send a screenshot so we can make sure we understand what you're > seeing? I have attached two screenshots, showing the bottom of the screen during the cover switch, and the thumbnail switcher. > This is probably an issue with the installer from Jetbrains, but we'll see > what they say. If so, presumably we should be able to see evidence of this in the desktop file? But the desktop file seems fine. > Thanks. Thank you. Created attachment 185033 [details]
Cover switch missing icon
Screenshot of cover switch -- not showing icon next to the window description at the bottom of the screen

Thumbnail switcher missing icon
Screenshot of thumbnail task switcher -- not showing icon on the IDEA window thumbnails. Note that the task switcher *does* show the icon for Android Studio, which is also installed via Jetbrains Toolbox.
Thank you for the additional details and the screenshots. Those are helpful. Since you say this happens intermittently, that rules out an installer or app issue. I'll let the developers take a closer look from here. please run busctl --user call org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin queryWindowInfo and click on the window when it has no icon and paste the output here (In reply to David Redondo from comment #6) > please run > > busctl --user call org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin queryWindowInfo > > and click on the window when it has no icon and paste the output here After an application restart, IDEA is again back to having no icon in the task bar, in addition to no icons in the cover switch, thumbnail switch, and present window views. Here is the output of the requested command: a{sv} 27 "activities" as 1 "0d8a320a-7bbf-4f83-8352-05903e49324b" "caption" s "Trails" "clientMachine" s "" "desktopFile" s "jetbrains-idea" "desktops" as 1 "dc15fb44-47a0-46cb-a418-f812ac131814" "fullscreen" b false "height" d 1612.31 "keepAbove" b false "keepBelow" b false "layer" i 2 "localhost" b true "maximizeHorizontal" i 2 "maximizeVertical" i 1 "minimized" b false "noBorder" b false "resourceClass" s "jetbrains-idea" "resourceName" s "idea" "role" s "" "shaded" b false "skipPager" b false "skipSwitcher" b false "skipTaskbar" b false "type" i 0 "uuid" s "{7e732df7-0e18-4538-813a-cb30246df6e1}" "width" d 2953.85 "x" d 2954 "y" d 0 I note here the `desktopFile` value of `jetbrains-idea.desktop` appears to be incorrect. It is $ find /home/raman -iname "jetbrains-idea*.desktop" find: /home/raman/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-idea-cd914c4e-c950-405b-ba44-8d0a6c89d04f.desktop And the menu is confirmed to point to that file -- if I open the KDE Menu Editor and right-click on the application and choose Properties, I see that it indeed references `/home/raman/.local/share/applications/jetbrains-idea-cd914c4e-c950-405b-ba44-8d0a6c89d04f.desktop`. When I run the same busctl command with Android Studio (where the icon works), the desktopFile is correct. This means this is an idea bug, if tells KWin the wrong app id (In reply to David Redondo from comment #8) > This means this is an idea bug, if tells KWin the wrong app id Thank you David. What technical details can I provide them that can help them solve the issue? For example specific API calls or settings? run it with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 and filter for "app_id" (In reply to David Redondo from comment #10) > run it with > WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 and filter for "app_id" Thank you, I see the relevant information. I've added that to the upstream bug report. Until that is fixed, I've worked around the issue by symlinking the desktop file to the "expected" name based on the app_id being set. Cheers |
