Description yhl3051 2025-11-08 02:49:52 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Issue 1 - Manual sorting allows dragging:
1. Right-click Icons-Only Task Manager → Configure Icons-Only Task Manager
2. Behavior → Sorting → Select "Manual"
3. Pin several applications to the taskbar
4. Try to drag a pinned icon to a different position

Issue 2 - Non-manual sorting modes cause position shifting:
1. Right-click Icons-Only Task Manager → Configure Icons-Only Task Manager  
2. Behavior → Sorting → Select "Alphabetically" (or "Do not Sort")
3. Pin several applications that are not currently open
4. Click to open one of the pinned applications

OBSERVED RESULT
Issue 1: With "Manual" sorting, icons can be accidentally dragged and reordered
Issue 2: With "Alphabetically" or "Do not Sort", when a pinned application is opened, the icon shifts position (with "Do not Sort" specifically jumping to the rightmost position)

EXPECTED RESULT
Issue 1: There should be an option to lock icon positions in Manual mode to prevent accidental dragging while maintaining custom order
Issue 2: Icons should remain in their pinned positions when opened, regardless of sorting mode
