[Bug] Matching desktop entries sometimes returns the wrong result or nothing

[DataM0del]

Note

This isn't just Spotify.
This seems to not happen using Amberol.
The icon and the details changes whenever the title changes.

• I use the Flatpak version of Spotify, installed from GNOME Software.
• I use spicetify
• I have forced Spotify to run natively under Wayland (using the flags from the Arch Linux article).
• This bug doesn't happen with GNOME, so it should be an issue with this.

The cause is:

launcher/plugins/src/cosmic_toplevel/mod.rs

Line 168 in 6a1b8b9

&[&info.app_id, &info.title],

I think it's probably better to just remove the window_title from the patterns.

"What IP":


Wi-Fi settings:
Mouse settings:
Sound settings:
Appearance settings:
Steam:
Xwayland X11 server:
IBUS Anthy thing:
CLion:
Embellish:
typing booster thing:
Android Studio:
Firefox Nightly masquerading as Spotify in search menu:
Firefox Nightly:
Mullvad Browser:
Fedora Media Writer:
GTK Demo:
And sometimes, it just doesn't show.

this changes with the window title, and sometimes also removes it from the Alt + Tab menu entirely.

this only happens while it's playing, which is when the title changed.

Useful command in case you want to take screenshots of system UIs that disappear after releasing keys (which, you need to press print screen in order to take screenshots):

# waits 5 seconds and then opens the screenshot tool,
# adjust the time as much as you want, as long as you are comfortable with it.
sleep 5 & cosmic-screenshot

I thought it was gonna be an issue in cosmic-launcher, and not this repository (launcher), but cosmic-launcher uses this launcher for the getting the icon.
So, it's an issue with this repository.
