            Bug ID: 125921
           Summary: All LO apps use the WM_CLASS value of "soffice.bin",
                    so different apps get grouped, and it's impossible to
                    pin more than one to the Plasma Task Manager
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nate at kde.org

Description:
Because they share the same WM_CLASS values, the Plasma task manager sees them
as the same app, leading to the following odd behaviors:
- When opening multiple apps, they are considered the same app and get grouped
- Only one app can be pinned to the Task Manager
- When you open any app, it first shows the wizard, which has a different icon,
so the icon for your pinned Task Manager app changes while the wizard is open

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use KDE Plasma (any recent version)
2. Use an Icons-only task manager
3. Install LibreOffice 6.2.4.2.0, using the kde5 VCL
4. Open Writer
5. Open Calc

Actual Results:
Both apps get grouped into the same Task Manager button because their WM_CLASS
values are identical ("soffice.bin")

Expected Results:
Writer and Calc should be considered separate apps and not be grouped


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
