In standard GNOME for Fedora and other variants the current desk top file results in two icons if added to the dock as a Favorite and app window is in focus. Adding StartupWMClass=google-chat-electron to the file fixes the issue. Screenshots included. Screenshot-20210831095323-1600x900 Screenshot-20210831095241-952x799

I will try to replicate the issue on Ubuntu 20 Gnome

I could not re-produce the issue on Ubuntu 20.4 GNOME. The only change i have made is, moved the Ubuntu dock to bottom, everything else is default settings. See screenshot. Screenshot from 2021-09-03 10-59-39

Thank you Ankur. This seems to only affect Fedora. I can reproduce on both my machines running Fedora 34. I also don't see it on Ubuntu-based distros like Pop and Elementary. I can confirm add the StartWMClass line in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications file fixes with Fedora on both machines.

Can also confirm that each update overwrites the manual addition of the fixed line from .desktop file. Any way this can be added for Fedora users?

I could not find any proper way to alter the . desktop file when building snap package

Out of 2951 users (snapcraft), only 11 users are using this app on Fedora. I don't see it worth putting efforts to fix this glitch
