Description popov895 2020-10-19 15:54:26 UTC 
SUMMARY

I prefer to use non-default Thumbnail Grid visualization for the Task Switcher, but it randomly resets visualization to the default Breeze. This doesn't happen often, so I cannot yet guess why this is happening. As new information becomes available, the bug report will be updated.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open System Settings
2. Go to Window Management > Task Switcher
3. Change visualization to non-default (Thumbnail Grid in my case)

OBSERVED RESULT

Task Switcher randomly resets visualization to the default Breeze.

EXPECTED RESULT

Task Switcher always uses the visualization of my choice.

By any chance, are you switching Global Themes? Because the Breeze and Breeze Dark global themes specify the use of the Breeze Task Switcher.
Comment 2 popov895 2020-10-26 18:00:13 UTC 
It may well be, but I'm not sure. Let's wait a bit longer.
Comment 3 popov895 2020-10-30 09:15:26 UTC 
You're right. I'm sure that bug can be closed.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-10-30 13:44:10 UTC 
Yep.

If you think it's a problem that the Breeze and Breeze Dark global themes set/reset the Task Switcher style, please feel free to file a new bug report to Plasmashell | Global Theme Packages.
