I understand that plasma want to protect the user from additional stuff but in most cases the user is less confused when something work nearly the same but in a different way. As this menu is the submenu more settings it is for the advanced users and this user we confuse more when it work in adkifferent way.
Comment 3 David Edmundson 2016-04-02 08:01:02 UTC 
Fun fact.

The code for the task bar menu contains the line at the top:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// NOTE: if you change the menu, keep kde-workspace/kwin/useractions.cpp in sync
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I guess that hasn't happened the other way round.
Comment 4 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-05-13 11:44:27 UTC 
If even the code agrees that the two should be synced, then they probably should be, both ways ;)
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2016-05-13 17:04:39 UTC 
I actually don't entirely agree with the code comment. Based on a couple of years of maintaining the Task Manager, I've come to the conclusion that tasks are not windows, they're an abstraction that is sometimes based on window data (and in fact based on user demand it's moved more and more away from naively listing windows and showing window data). As such it's okay for the windows not to be identical, since they're for different kinds of things. On the other hand it's of course ok to show some window actions in the menu when a task happens to relate to a window.

s/for the windows/for the menus/
Comment 7 andreas 2016-06-12 20:39:11 UTC 
and why is the no border action not available the other stuff is in another subsection but the border stuff is in the same subsection like all the others.
Comment 8 Eike Hein 2016-06-13 08:01:16 UTC 
Tasks are not windows.
Comment 9 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-06-13 12:49:32 UTC 
(In reply to Eike Hein from comment #8)
> Tasks are not windows.

From a user's perspective, they are, at least as long as they're not grouped.
Comment 10 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-06-16 20:49:44 UTC 
The "Activities" menu for some reason wasn't merged for 5.7... the other options missing options (except maybe "No Border") are pretty pointless there, at least for the effort it would take to implement them.
