Video showing the problem

SUMMARY
For some reason, icons in the dock seem to randomly rearrange themselves when minimizing and restoring them. Unpinning and then pinning the affected icons seems to temporarily resolve the problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open some programs
2. Minimize and restore them

OBSERVED RESULT
The icons rearrange themselves in a seemingly random way

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect them to stay where they are

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.3.13-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Upon encountering the problem, I built the most recent master branch from git, but this didn't fix it. Furthermore, I verified the problem to be present at least as far back as version 0.8.8.

1. Send me a screenshot of plasma systemsettings->Display And Monitor->Compositor
2. Latte is not responsible for tasks ordering, plasma libtaskmanager is. If you use plasma icon-only taskmanager instead of Latte, dont you have the same issue in your system?
3. Send me your Latte layout file please to check it out if I can reproduce in my system

The icon-only taskmanager does not exhibit this problem.

Whatever... and now change in the compositor settings, window previews from always to only to shown windows and will be fixed..

This is X11 limitation, plasma devs will tell you the same.
