Bug ID: 465118
Summary: Sometimes, clicking trying to bring a window to the
front will instead open a new instance of that
application
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Sometimes plasma gets into a state where when I click on something in the task
manager to bring an already running application to the front, it will instead
spawn a new instance of that application. This will happen for all running
applications -- it becomes impossible to switch to an already running
application (except via alt-tab).
Killing and re-starting Plasma fixes this. I've had this happen both
immediately after login, and when the desktop geometry changes due to a screen
being (un)plugged.
This only started happening when I switched to Wayland -- but that came with a
big system update so it's not clear which of those changes started this.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With some applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Konsole) running, click on one
of their icons in the task manager
OBSERVED RESULT
A new instance of that application is being started.
EXPECTED RESULT
The existing window should be brought to the front.
