Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Caja (install it with 'sudo apt install caja' if needed)
  2. Right click the icon on the dock to add it to favorites
  3. Close the application
  4. See that it is missing from the dock

Repeat the steps with this command/application:

system-config-printer

/usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop specifies NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME;. Removing this line makes it show in the launcher, add makes adding it to favorites work. Similarly, /usr/share/applications/caja.desktop has NoDisplay=true and OnlyShowIn=MATE;.

It appears that when a .desktop file specifies it shouldn't be shown, Gnome hides it from the favorites, but still shows "Add to Favorites".

Reproduced on Fedora Rawhide and reported upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3342

Fixed upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1488, which should be included in the next point release of Gnome Shell.

Gnome Shell 3.38.2 seems to have a backport of that commit. Closing.
