Description Marcus Harrison 2021-06-15 16:19:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
On Wayland, when launching an application from simple application launcher, the menu launcher or KRunner, plasma instead launches the previously-selected application.

For example:
On first logging in, using the Simple Menu to launch Dolphin does nothing.
After attempting to launch Dolphin, using the Simple Menu to launch Kate instead launches Dolphin.
Then, attempting to launch Konsole instead launches Kate.

I can verify that this bug is valid. It is happening in the Plasma Wayland session on my Surface Pro 4 and ASUS ROG Strix GL702VM laptops. I actually came here to submit the same bug report. It only started happening when KDE Frameworks 5.83.0 was released. It also occurs when launching applications from the Application Dashboard, Latte Dock, and from Krunner. I updated to 5.22.1 this afternoon, and it does not fix the issue.

This bug is fixed 4 days ago, but it seems that the fix was not included in the plasma-framework 5.83.0 package.
