Summary: Wayland: launching an App directed to open in another
virtual desktop will switch to that desktop
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
Create a window rule for an app to start on another virtual desktop. Launch
that app, and you got switched to that desktop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Rules
Add rule:
- window class: substring match -> konsole
- virtual desktops: apply initially -> 5: Desktop 5
2. Launch konsole when I am on Desktop 1
OBSERVED RESULT
It switched to Desktop 5.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should not switch to Desktop 5. It should stay on Desktop 1 and the taskbar
should have a highlighted Konsole entry. (Same as on X11)
(Or at least give users a choice whether to switch to that desktop)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
