Description of problem: A recent Cinnamon update introduced the following bug: If you move some entries in the grouped window list in the task bar, and then close a window, the order is reset to previous order. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cinnamon-4.8.3-1.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open several windows 2. Re-arrange the order of the windows in the task bar (grouped window list) 3. Close one of the windows, either by clicking the X or pressing [Alt]+[F4] Actual results: The order of the windows in the task bar is reset. Expected results: The order of the windows in the task bar should stay as it was manually arranged. Additional info: There's also a ticket about this on Github: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9845
Some further information: The issue is caused by setting "Group windows by application" to "false". Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a new user 2) Log in as the new user (don't change any settings!) 3) Open several windows of different applications (e. g. 2x Firefox, Kolourpaint, Audacious, Thunderbird, and gnome-terminal-server) 4) Close one of the two Firefox windows The order of the windows in the taskbar is still the same. 5) Close all windows 6) Set "Group windows by application" in the Grouped Window List appled settings to "false". 7) Open the same applications again 8) Close one of the two Firefox windows 9) The order of the entries in the task bar has been changed. This is 100% reproducable here on 3 different computers that run Fedora 33. To work around this issue, I downgraded cinnamon and some related packages to 4.6.7: # dnf downgrade cinnamon cinnamon-control-center cinnamon-control-center-filesystem cinnamon-desktop cinnamon-menus cinnamon-screensaver cinnamon-session cinnamon-settings-daemon cinnamon-themes cinnamon-translations cjs muffin nemo nemo-extensions nemo-image-converter nemo-preview slick-greeter-cinnamon After you re-login the issue is gone. Since Fedora didn't ship a version between 4.6.7 (released on Aug 11, 2020) and 4.8.3 (released on Dec 13, 2020), I can't give a shorter time frame when this bug was introduced.
You will need to report it upstream. https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues
A working bug fix is now available (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/pull/9899/files), and it has been merged to master on upstream. Upstream ticket: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9845#event-4390710121 It would be great if the fix could be added to the Fedora packages. It's a really annoying bug that heavily affects user experience.
