Bug ID: 423214
Summary: Changes configured in 'Special Application Settings',
'Special Window Settings' don't appear to work or
persist
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcmshell
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: lgp171...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When special application/window settings are configured from the drop down menu
that shows up when clicking the application icon in the title bar, they don't
appear to get saved or applied.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the application icon in the title bar.
2. Select 'More Actions -> Special Window settings' or 'More Actions -> Special
application settings'.
3. Add a new property, and configure it say to force the desktop file of an
application.
4. Click the OK button.
5. Repeat the steps 1, 2.
OBSERVED RESULT
The configured property doesn't show up and doesn't work. I can provide a GIF
recording of this issue if needed.
Run 'kcmshell5 kcm_kwinrules' from the command line. The added property
overrides are listed in the application window that shows up and this indicates
that the property overrides have been saved. They just don't show up in the
window launched from the application icon menu.
Though the overrides show up in the second case, they don't get applied and the
overrides don't work.
EXPECTED RESULT
The configured property overrides show up and work.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux running the 5.7.3 Linux kernel
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have a separate .desktop file for a custom Firefox profile with a custom icon
created using kmenuedit and saved under ~/.local/share/applications. I have
also added a configured a distinct window class using the StartupWMClass and
used the same class name in the command to launch Firefox. The icon in the
panel task manager reflects the customizations. But the application icon in the
title bar and the alt-tab switcher still show the vanilla Firefox icon.
This works fine on the older Plasma 5.18.5 (KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0, Qt
version: 5.15.0) on Manjaro Linux, which has the older version of the
configuration window in question.
This could be a separate, but related issue.
