I've got the same issue in the Ubuntu 18.10 beta.

snap 2.35.4+18.10
snapd 2.35.4+18.10
series 16
ubuntu 18.10
kernel 4.18.11-surface-linux-surface

Also, Chromium's "Add shortcut..." function (which is broken in the Chromium snap, but the deb version does it as well) makes use of the StartupWMClass for Chromium extensions and web apps: `StartupWMClass=crx_okkolgldfknecfjnhhglfopimelbaceh`

And thus, when no "pure" Chromium window is opened but a Chromium web app is, opening Chromium will cause the Gnome shell to group the two icons under the name of the app (as it's the same executable without a distinguishable StartupWMClass, if I'm right).

With `StartupWMClass=chromium` added to /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/chromium_chromium.desktop it works as expected.
