Bug ID: 457977
Summary: Kickoff not switching to already launched application
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mtj...@gmail.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
When user inadvertently launches an application that is already running
(usually on another virtual desktop) nothing happens. I'm not sure if this is a
bug, but I would expect plasmashell to switch to the already running
application.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create some virtual desktops. I usually use three virtual desktops.
2. Open an application, for example System Monitor and move it to another
virtual desktop, to virtual desktop #2
3. While on virtual desktop #1 launch System Monitor.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens. Some application that are designed to run multiple instances
like Kwrite open another instance.
EXPECTED RESULT
Expect KDE to switch to the already running application if designed to run only
single instance.
