[plasmashell] [Bug 431946] After upgrade to KDE Plasma 5.20.5, unexpectedly new apps are pinned to Task Manager
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431946 --- Comment #5 from Nate Graham --- Yes, I agree. It's something we need to improve in a central, deliberate way. Right now it's super ad-hoc: some things get automatically applied for people who haven't changed their own defaults, and some things don't, and we don't have a painless way of choosing what will happen--it's up to the underlying implementation. Resolving this with a sort of "here's what changed; do you want to use the new thing now?" dialog would be nice, I agree. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431946 --- Comment #2 from i.Dark_Templar --- I didn't reset my settings before, during or after upgrade. I didn't remove or add/readd panels. But I had no pinned applications since I prefer traditional task panel icons which don't disappear when an instance of application is started. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I'm not even sure how it could have happened, based on how the panel code works. Did you reset your panel to the default settings, or remove it and re-add it? Or had you never ever pinned any apps to your Task Manager in the first place? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
