Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs The task manager doesn't consistently recognize windows which should be grouped. This seems to happen most often with firefox windows, but that may be because I frequently have several firefox windows open. Task manager will group some occurrences but leave others ungrouped. Attached screen shot shows additional problem -- the task manager shows three windows when there are actually only two on the screen.
Created attachment 32994 [details] Incorrect task manager display.
Reproduced on trunk r967825. I've also observed this behavior consistently with new gvim and Kopete windows. The behavior with Kopete is strange, however. When I open a chat window by clicking on a contact in my contact list, most (if not all) of the time, the taskbar groups it correctly. However, if a chat window is opened because someone IMed me, most (if not all) of the time, the window is not grouped. This behavior has been very consistent for me, since the taskbar first got the ability to group programs.
- Can you check if this has improved on 4.3/4.4 ? Thanks
Possibly less consistent than before -- raising the new window a few times will sometimes cause it to be grouped. Or maybe after a while (10-15 seconds) the window is grouped automatically. However, there is now an additional incorrect behaviour: as before, when I open a new window (again using Firefox) the Task Manager displays a entry for the new window. As before, this appears on all desktops. Now clicking on this entry does nothing -- it does not raise the window, or, on other desktops, return to the desktop which contains the window.
The issue about that "ghost" entry is being tracked at bug 202199. Thanks
