*** title bar index number *** SUMMARY No index number in title bar when multiple instances of an app is opened as observed in plasma5. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open krusader 2. Open another krusader 3. Note that there is no way to tell which instance is which. OBSERVED RESULT Krusader is displayed in title bar EXPECTED RESULT Krusader is displayed in title bar in the first instance and Krusader<2> is displayed in the second instance SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: 6 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
KWin adds these — or at least it did. IRC the functionality was removed. How do you manage to have two windows with the same titles that you can't tell apart? Are their contents actually identical?
Created attachment 172358 [details] attachment-2602234-0.html No, it is just nice to know which window is which. Seems like an unnecessary regression. I am old I do not care for change for change sake. Thanks for looking into it for me.

It was dropped because the window numbering implementation was buggy and its usefulness was doubtful in comparison to the visual aides such as window thumbnails.
