** Description changed: - I have recently converted from deb to snap package of chromium and - progressive web applications (PWAs) launch just as another window of - chromium and are not recognized as separate application by the window - manager (for example when switching using Super+Tab) or dock (grouped - under chromium windows). + Impact + ------ - This is either a regression of the snap package vs deb or ubuntu 20.04 - vs ubuntu 18.04 (I am not able to differentiate between these two since - both happened together). + When converting from deb to snap package of chromium, progressive web + applications (PWAs) launch just as another window of chromium and are + not recognized as separate application by the window manager (for + example when switching using Super+Tab) or dock (grouped under chromium + windows). + + This strikes users as a regression (as it is). + + Test case + --------- + + *Install the package. + *Log in to Ubuntu desktop. + *Start Chromium. + *Go to a site that offers PWA to install, e.g. earth.google.com. + *In the right end of the address bar, click the icon to install the PWA. + *The PWA opens in a separate window. + In this first launch it may be that the PWA is not yet recognized as a different application by the Gnome Shell, if this is the case, close the PWA and open it again. + *Verify that the PWA behaves as a stand-alone program, namely insofar as it: + ++can be found by pressing Super and then typing its name (e.g. 'earth' if you installed Google Earth). + ++launches when thereby clicking that launcher. + ++does not share Chromium's tab group in the alt-tab switcher. + ++does not share Chromium's launcher icon in the dock (i.e. the launcher bar that by default is flush to the left edge of the screen). + + Regression potential + -------------------- + + Regressions may arise as incorrect window grouping in the alt-tab + switcher or in the dock for desktop applications.
