SUMMARY
Plasma 5.15.0, 5.15.1, 5.15.2 Task Manager Sequence & Thumbnail bugs: Popup thumbnails have lost their VD#, & for VD-1 to VD-n, any windows using VD-n show first not last in Task Manager sequence. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade Plasma to at least 5.15.0.
2. Activate Plasma Panel's Task Manager [TM], configured to arrange in Desktop sequence, Ungrouped.
3. Activate at least two Virtual Desktops [VD]. The following example uses 9 VDs, & the malfunction is confirmed also with 4 VDs [so i expect probably any number will suffice].
4. Open random program / document windows distributed across multiple VDs, except NOT the final VD [ie, use 1 - 8].
5. Inspect the TM & note that all its iconised windows correctly appear in the expected sequence.
6. Open another window, but now in VD9 [or alternatively drag an existing one there]. Reinspect the TM.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. VD9’s window/s appear NOT last in the TM, but incorrectly at the start [LHS-end if panel is horizontal] of the TM… ie, before even the genuinely VD1 windows.
2. TM no longer identifies the VD# in the popup thumbnails [this is unrelated to VD9 being occupied or not].

EXPECTED RESULT
1. VD9’s window/s should appear last in the TM sequence [which was true for Plasma <5.15.0].
2. TM window popup thumbnail should continue indicating VD# [which was true for Plasma <5.15.0].

Comment 1 kdemeoz 2019-04-07 07:13:38 UTC
Today i updated my Manjaro KDE from Plasma 5.15.3 to 5.15.4. After rebooting i discovered that this bug has been FIXED... the misbehaviours i originally reported are no longer present. 

I do not know if the fix actually came in 5.15.3, or only in 5.15.4, but either way, this is a good outcome.

Thanks.
