Description justpeachy 2025-10-16 21:57:40 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new activity
2. Open new activity
3. Start pinning apps to Icons-Only Task Manager
4. Right click app icon in Icons-Only Task Manager > Pin to Task Manager
5. Click on check box to pin it to the new activity

OBSERVED RESULT
App icon duplicates in Icons-Only Task Manager and still remains pinned in all activities regardless of the activity you set or are currently in, including if you unchecked "On All Activities". If you want to unpin it, you're forced to close out of all activities except for one and clicking "Unpin" twice.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons pinned should only appear once, check boxes should act like actual check boxes (i.e., when inside the "Pin to Task Manager" dialog, unchecking "On All Activities" should unpin it), and when pinning entries from inside Kickoff, it should preemptively give you the option to pin it to a given activity (like the Pin to Task Manager context menu from the Icons-Only Task Manager itself) if there's multiple present and have an Icons-Only Task Manager as well.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Doesn't seem to always work. It only really happens for entries that were added after the Activity was created and not the ones that were already there, but it's not consistent.

Can repro, but I had the second activity already enabled, did not need to make new one.

1. Open application launcher
2. Drag a completely new, unopen **Flatpak app**  to the icons only task manager
3. Right click the icon, set it to pinned only on the current activity
4. Duplicate appears!

Seems its only with flatpak apps for me.
