Deleting the ~/snaps folder in ubuntu seems to permanently break gnome dash window tracking.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Add chromium-browser.desktop to your dash / dock favourites. Chromium Windows get attributed to this favourite when created.
2) Delete the ~/snaps folder, quit all chromium processes and / or reboot
3) The ~/snaps folder gets recreated, but Chromium windows now get attributed to a new chromium-browser dash icon, ignoring the favourite created in step 1
I know I know, don't delete the ~/snaps folder then!
Unfortunately, there are situations when this is beyond my control.
These desktops are gonna get into the hands of normal users, like my dad and my colleagues.
They will delete the folder by accident or because they don't know and don't care about snaps.
Deleting it shouldn't permanently break window tracking. |

This is on a fully patched 20.04 system. |
