Small aesthetic problem with cinnamon taskbar

Support
1

I don’t know where to ask this, but I have following little problem with the cinnamon taskbar:

I use the taskbar mostly in it’s default appearance, which means on the left are the icons for Terminal, Nemo, Thunderbird and Firefox. When I click one of these icons, the program opens and the icon expands with title and an underline.
But when there was an update of Firefox or Thunderbird and I click the icon, it opens another tag beside it.
I have to at least log out/in again to get normal behaviour back.
Is this fixable? Is this a problem of the update process of Manjaro or a problem of cinnamon?

This can happen in cinnamon when an app is updated, as you stated.

All you have to do is restart cinnamon, no need to logout or reboot.

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Press “Alt + F2” from the desktop, this will bring up a command prompt, type the letter “r” and hit enter.

  2. “Right Click” on any of the panels, and select Troubleshooting > Restart Cinnamon

Ok thanks, that would be an improvement.
So it seems the problem is not on Manjaro side, but on Cinnamon or the applet (grouped-window-list). I will try to report there.

Right-click on the open Firefox icon and click “Add to Toolbar”.
I hope the English translation makes sense.
