Bug Description
Ubuntu 17.10
STR:
1. Run a Snap that creates windows.
2. Add its .desktop icon to Favorites, if it is not already.
3. Refresh the Snap to a different channel while its windows are still open.
When the Snap refreshes, the .desktop icon is removed from Favorites momentarily and when it is re-added it has lost association with existing windows, making it harder to switch focus to them.
I tested Firefox, VLC and GIMP, all with the same result.
The Favorites icon is treated independently for each revision. GNOME Favorites are stored in ~/.config/
