1. Set virtual desktop count to at least 2 (in systemsettings). 2. Set "Show only window from current desktop" in taskbar Plasma widget configuration. 2. Have something playing in an application on Desktop 1 (e.g. a Youtube video in Chrome) 3. Switch to Desktop 2 4. Switch back to Desktop 1 and watch the taskbar Actual behaviour: The application item will firstly appear in taskbar without the audio indicator (speaker icon), then it will appear after 1-2 seconds. Expected behaviour: The audio indicator should appear immediately along with the application item in taskbar.
The indicator is delayed to avoid distraction but I agree when the window just appeared in the list while already playing, it should show right away.
Git commit 0ead1a6e77e818c1a201b2676007808fd23488e3 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 15/02/2018 at 12:28. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [Task Manager] Don't delay audio indicator when task appears When the task appears in Task Manager and is already playing audio, show the indicator right away. There's no distraction from that since the task as a whole appears. Only when the audio stream appears during the lifetime of a task, it is delayed to avoid distractions by short sound effects.
