SUMMARY 2 instance of an app with different window classes will be grouped together after some time Note: this is about released KDE and Plasma 6.0.0, but that version is not available to be selected on the bug tracker. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Among others, I have the following applications pinned to my icons-only task manager: - Firefox - Whatsapp, which is a Firefox with a different profile and "firefox-whatsapp" window class: - Exec=firefox --class "firefox-whatsapp" --name "firefox-whatsapp" --profile "/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile.whatsapp" %u OBSERVED RESULT When I launch Firefox and Whatsapp, the task manager will correctly differentiate them, highlighting their respective launchers on the task bar. But after a while, they will be both grouped on the Firefox launcher, and clicking the Whatsapp one will launch another instance. EXPECTED RESULT Whatsapp would be always assigned to the correct icon on the task manager. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Running on wayland
I suspect this is related to Bug 475736 or Bug 358277.
It's been days since it last happened. When I observed it, I was editing color schemes and Plasma themes, and I restarted plasmashell several times. If I can't reproduce it in the next fews days, I'll just close this.
ok, I figured out how to reproduce it: 1. Close plasmashell with `kquitapp6 plasmashell` 2. Run plasmashell again Both Firefox and Whatsapp will be grouped together as Firefox in the Icons-only task manager.
