Hi, from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825043. --- snip --- Since a few versions, it seems that libreoffice processes are not groupped under the same icon in the gnome-shell bar anymore. Each document is creating a new entry (without an icon and named "soffice") in the bar instead of being groupped under their type (one icon for the wordprocessing documents, one for the spreadsheet...) This is rather ugly. I'm using gnome-shell wayland if it matters --- snip --- Turns out it's not "Since a few [LO] versions" but with wayland, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825043#15: --- snip --- OK I just tried on my laptop, running the same version of gnome but running X instead of gnome-shell as a wayland compositor and it's working as expected --- snip --- Quick chat on IRC gives (2016-05-23): 12:31 < _rene_> caolan: you did some gtk3/wayland stuff lately according to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=wayland. Is http://bugs.debian.org/825043 known? 12:32 -!- KhaledHosny [~khaled@41.69.28.11] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] 12:34 <@erAck> cloph: nice idea with COS(PI()*2) 12:34 <@caolan> _rene_: its probably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1334915 12:34 < IZBot> bug 1334915: Fedora-['libreoffice'] low/unspecified NEW Libreoffice Missing icons on dock and Alt+tab on Wayland 12:34 -!- KhaledHosny [~khaled@41.69.97.189] has joined #libreoffice-dev 12:35 <@caolan> something "extra" might have gone wrong reason, but nevertheless there isn't a way to *change* the group of a window in gtk, so when you go from calc to startcenter to writer it gets "stuck" at the first group 12:36 <@caolan> under X we can tweak the bits that gtk3 sets in X manually to move it around, no so under wayland yet. Its super down my list at the moment though
I guess we can set to NEW.

wrt this specific bug, given the current availability of apis this is as good as it gets. wrt "doesn't start", it starts fine for me and in Fedora distro generally
This may work fine now on gnome40 with wayland but it is still occurring on the latest plasma 5.22 with wayland. X11 works fine of course
There are 3 years between comment #7 and comment #8 and a lot has changed since. I suggest a new fresh bug with the details of your libreoffice version and vclplug variant because I think the general case is now solvable (and works with e.g. gtk3 variant and mutter-40.1) so you may have a specific set of circumstances where it still fails.
