I've set the option to keep launchers separated and to organize programs manually, but when I click a launcher, the launchers are NOT kept separate and the application opens NOT at the right extreme of the task manager. Instead it replaces its launcher at the position I've set it. [FYI: If sorting is "Do not sort" behaviour is as expected, launchers are kept separate] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Task Manager Settings 2. Sorting: "Manually" 3. Set "Keep launchers separate" Actual Results: Aplication replaces its launcher at the position of the launcher. Launchers are NOT kept separate and the application opens NOT at the right extreme of the task manager. Expected Results: Launchers are kept separate and the application opens at the right extreme of the task manager.
Sorry, I should have added that this bug is present since plasma 5.7.2 (since July 19). Until plasma 5.7.1 task manager showed the expected behaviour.

Thanks! This was my first bug report. And it was answered and fixed within 1 day. Great. Thanks to all contributors.
No problem - thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble!
I don't use launchers on the Task Manager but since updating to 5.7.2 I noticed that new application windows' entries on the Task Manager are placed next to one another, not at the right end as they used to. Is this an expected behaviour? I don't like it, is there a away to set it to the old behaviour?
I don't get exactly what you are talking about. Can you give a before/after screenshot? I recommend upgrading to 5.7.3, many things were fixed regarding TaskManager, this update was a huge improvement.
It was a regression in 5.7.2-only, fixed in 5.7.3.
