I had a problem with bug-report tool from console. doesn't seem like it's system specific but I can try again if required..

Can you please update the bug description with the relevant information so that we can understand this bug report easily?

[gokcehan (gokcehankara)]

shall I copy the question from askubuntu to here? I didn't want to duplicate the information for possible further discussion there, sorry..

You don't need to copy anything, you just need to tell us the exact issue that you are facing.

ok so let's say I have only two applications pinned to the launcher, nautilus and firefox (not counting dash home and desktop switcher). initially, I can access my nautilus with `<super>1` and firefox with `<super>2`. then if I ever launch an unpinned application, say a terminal, I can still access my nautilus with `<super>1` but firefox is shifted to `<super>3` where as `<super>2` corresponds to the terminal now.

for some reason unpinned applications are set to show up just above the bottom pinned application. I think it would make much more sense if they show up below every other pinned application so that shortcuts for pinned applications never changes.

a workaround for this issue is to set the the positions of applications after launching those unpinned applications but then it is reset at every relog.
