lxtask can not change priority of process

[Dima]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run LXTask ("Task Manager") on Lubuntu 17.10
2. Select any process and right click on it
3. Move to "Priority" submenu and choose any available value

Expected result:
The priority ("Prio" column) is changed to the selected value.

Actual result:
The priority isn't changed.

Note: mate-system-monitor works just fine.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Looks like there's an upstream patch, too, if anyone wants to check that out.

Did this ever work? At what point did it stop working?

I don't know if it ever worked.

Why lxtask developers hasn't made a new release due this issue? Is the project dead? It's sad that lxtask still doesn't change the priority on bionic beaver.
