STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a non-KDE/CSD window (like a browser) open 2. Have multiple activities available 3. Right click on the task manager entry of that window and choose "Show on activity", then choose a different activity to current one OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens, when you right click again, the tick mark remains next to the same activity name as before and the window didn't get moved to the selected activity. Interestingly, it works for KDE/non-CSD windows when the same is tried from the title bar. EXPECTED RESULT Can move a CSD window to the selected activity. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211111 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.6-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Btw. I like the non-CSD title-bar solution much better because the local menu stays open during activity manipulation.
Done in Plasma 5.24! See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/231

I am not sure if Bug 419225 is fixed. It was about the consistency of the menu behavior in different places, i.e., taskbar and title bars and not about the bug of it not working.
I tested it in 5.24.1, but unfortunately even with the new menu structure this issue still remains. I cannot move an activity to another one from the task manager either by using the checkboxes or the "Move to ..." menu entry. The window stays on the current activity and the checkboxes don't get changed either.
This is definitely fixed now as of Plasma 5.27.4.
Also works for me in 5.27.2 Also the title bar and panel menus are more consistent now, but the panel menu has no icons next to activities and the title bar menu has icons. I need to have a look if the related bug is still open.
Created attachment 158060 [details] KDE activity move bug I upgraded to 5.27.4 from 5.26 and unfortunately, the same issue remains. Moving any (KDE or non-KDE) window to a new activity in the title bar works, but not in the panel. I created a short video about it. Sorry, it's in Hungarian, but hopefully you can see the point.
Ok so there may be a bit of confusion here. Clicking the checkboxes doesn't move the window to that activity, it makes the window *also* be on that activity. If you want to *move* a window to a different activity so that it's not on the current activity, you have to use the "Move to [activity name]" menu item that exists now. Unfortunately it's broken; see Bug 465423. We'll try to get that fixed ASAP.
