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.

The menus/windows seem to have changed in the mean time. I cannot reproduce the issue following the description. Can you please confirm, that it still persists with KDE 5.23 and provide an updated list of steps on how to reproduce?

There are two sub-menu options under 'More Actions ...' activated via context menu when RH click on a window title bar. Viz: 1. Configure Special WIndow Settings 2. COnfigure Special Application Settings The bug reported here appers to have been dealt with .. see attachments 1 & 2 .... as editor for 'Special Application Settings' now seems to always agree with what is held under 'Window Rules' for the application. However i for one have always been confused by these two options .. see attachments 3 & 4 which show what appears to be the same 'Size and Position' data, but clearly not reading what is already set under the forementioned 'Windows Rules' dialog under 'System Settings, 'Window Management', 'Window Rules' Consequently i only ever use the second option .. 'Special Application Settings' when configuring size and postion ....

I'm afraid Plasma 5.22 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Plasma 5.27 as soon as your distro offers it to you. If you need support for Plasma 5.22, please contact your distro, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older non-LTS releases. If this issue is still reproducible in either Plasma 5.27 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 5.27.7 (the latest released version), feel free to re-open this bug report. Thanks for understanding!
