** 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.
