Cinnamon - Add to panel from menu issue #64

Open smurphos opened 5 years ago

smurphos commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug In some circumstances using add to panel from the menu right-click context menu can result result in additional panel launcher applets being added without the target application be added as a panel-launcher.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Method 1

Remove the grouped-window-list applet so you have a panel with no grouped-window-list and no panel launcher applet. Navigate to the menu and select an app, right click and add to panel. Observe a panel launcher applet being added to panel with the default launchers but not the target application launcher. Try again, observe a 2nd panel launcher applet being created.....

Method 2

Remove the grouped-window-list applet so you have a panel with no grouped-window-list and no panel launcher applet. Add a panel launcher applet via right click add to panel. Navigate to the menu and select an app, right click and add to panel. Observe a 2nd panel launcher applet being added but not the target app, Try again, observe a 3rd panel launcher applet....

Method 3.

Switch to the Traditional Desktop layout. Remove the panel launcher applet and add a grouped-window-list applet. Navigate to the menu and select an app, right click and add to panel. Observe a panel launcher applet being added with the default launchers and the target application.

Workaround - in all cases a Cinnamon restart prior to trying to add to panel from the menu avoids the issue.
