Description soee 2015-09-06 09:32:49 UTC
From Special Application Settings we can bind/force application to selected activity. This seems to work since this fix (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342935) - application is moved to selected activity. 

If we now close our application settings and reopen it again we will see that activity that we picked before is not selected but "All activities" option is. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Special Application Settings
2. Open Size and Position tab and set Activity -> Force -> Some Activity
3. Apply changes and close settings window
4. Open Special Application Settings again and see that activity selected before is not selected now

Actual Results:  
Activity used to force application to run on, is not selected on activities list in  Special Application Settings.

Expected Results:  
Selected activity in Special Application Settings should be visible as selected option.

CONFIRMED: and further, have found that the reason the ACTIVITY is being reset to ALL ACTIVITIES when using the 'Special Window/Application Settings' menu is that the WINDOWS RULES WINDOW MANAGER SETTINGS dialog window which manages all 'special window/application settings'

CONFIRMED: and further, have found that the reason the ACTIVITY is being reset to ALL ACTIVITIES, when using the 'Special Window/Application Settings' menu, is that the WINDOWS RULES WINDOW MANAGER SETTINGS dialog, which manages all 'special window/application settings', keeps 'ALL ACTIVITIES' as the value for all settings ... the user cannot change it ... and so whenever the user tries to adjust any of these settings on the individual window .. the WINDOW MANGER loads ALL ACTIVITIES as a default setting .. instead of that which was previously set by the user. 

Unless the user is astute to this bug he will inadvertently choose ALL ACTIVITIES when making other adjustments to Special Window/Applications Settings ..,. which causes havoc when rebooting the system ..... as when reloading an application it now appears across ALL ACTIVITIES. Most confusing and annoying.
