SUMMARY After updating the KDE 6.2.4, windows from PWAs (progressive web aps) are grouped together with windows from the browser from which they are installed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure the panel to use the icons-only task manager. 2. Install Vivaldi. 3. Install a PWA through Vivaldi, such as MS teams: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app 4. Add both Vivaldi and the PWA to the pinned entries in the task manager. 5. Click both icons. OBSERVED RESULT They merge into one, under the Vivaldi icon, even though they are separate icons before launching. EXPECTED RESULT Should have two separate icons for Vivaldi and for MS teams installed as a PWA. Reverting to plasma 5.27.11 in the same system makes them behave as expected. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Does it happen in Chrome or Chromium too? Can you test when all of these browsers are in native Wayland mode as well as in XWayland mode?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Does it happen in Chrome or Chromium too? > > Can you test when all of these browsers are in native Wayland mode as well > as in XWayland mode? Does "native Wayland" and "XWayland" mean "open it in a wayland session, then in an x11 session", or does it involve some setting or launching chromium with some specific flag?
Yeah, you'll have to launch the app with a special flag. Every app does it differently. For Chrome/Chromium, you add "--ozone-platform=wayland" to force it into Wayland mode, and without that, it's in XWayland mode. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromium Per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vivaldi#Native_Wayland_support Vivaldi seems to default to Wayland, so you can force it into XWayland mode with the "auto" value for ozone-platform.

From some further testing: - The problem is not present when running X11 sessions (but didn't manage to try on the latest 6.2.4 version). - In earlier KDE plasma versions (6.0), if I launch the PWA first, the browser icon then becomes the PWA's, so it doesn't let me launch the browser from the task manager. I think this didn't happen in 6.2 but am not 100% sure. - If I launch vivaldi though the command line with option '--ozone-platform=wayland', and then launch the PWA, then the icons stay separate instead of merging, regardless of how the PWA is launched. I BTW found these PWAs that can be easily installed without any registration: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/demo-pwas To install one of them with Vivaldi, one can open this link: https://microsoftedge.github.io/Demos/pwamp/ Then right click the tab where it opens, and select "Install PWAmp music player".
Does it still happen in Plasma 6.3.5 or later for you?
Updating the status here, pending an update from the reporter - thanks!
