Work-arounds of various types are not solutions. Therefore, I post this
as bug report. It should not be too difficult for a developer to find
out, why entering a (proposed) application is not stored, respectively
not respected.
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
systemsettings 4:5.12.7-0ubuntu0.1
I can confirm, that the descriptions as referred to are correct: It
doesn't work in System Settings, and neither if effected in Chrome
itself.
** Affects: systemsettings (Ubuntu)
