Spotify not properly open and plank issue

tcomarchetti · 2021-09-29 19:30:47

Hi guys,
as well as you can see on the picture, Spotify is not properly open (Spotify icon is "inactive" while there is another one called "window untitled" on the right);
if I press Spotify icon while is reproducing music, the system tries to launch Spotify again (I mean, once Spotify is open, I can't maximize or minimize it clicking on his icon but I have to click on "window untitled" icon).
Any idea how to solve this bug?

I'm using Cinnamo DE, Spotify installed from flathub.

Be patience, I'm new on Arch

Spotify installed from flathub

Why?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify/

Though it's most likely due to the spotify window not setting any properties that identify it - check "xprop" (click the spotify window when the cursor turns into a "+")
No idea whether the AUR version does this any better…

Not the plank window, the spotify window. Not it's icon. The thing where you can select and play the music…

Sorry my mistake...............

No class or name and "_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 6" is very most likely BS ("ps aux | grep spotify", I bet the pid isn't "6")
The window is not identifiable as anything and so the cinnamon plank can't link it to the fancy icon.

I don't know whether the AUR version does any better, but it can't get worse.
