SUMMARY Installed KDE Plasma Version 5.16.0 KDE Frameworks Version 5.58.0 Kubuntu 19.04 Kernel 5.0.0-16-generic STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Plasma 5.16.0 from backports 2. Observe applications are tied to the desktop that they are in, with no option to switch to previous behaviour. OBSERVED RESULT All applications do not appear in the panel and are tied to the desktop, no option to revert to previous behaviour EXPECTED RESULT It would be nice to have an option to revert to the previous behaviour as my workflow depends on switching applications between desktops constantly. I understand that this is a new feature, but it would be nice to have the option to switch this behaviour in the panel options. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Occurred after upgrading plasma from Kubuntu backports
There is an option to return to the previous behavior: Right-click on any part of the Task Manager > Configure Task Manager > Behavior > uncheck "Show only tasks from current desktop"
OK thanks, yes that worked. I was looking in the panel configuration and couldn't find it there.
