Google Chrome doesn't play well with KDE activities

[jcphil]

With most apps, I can open them inside an activity and they will stay there, allowing me to switch to an activity and find only the apps I put there. But with Chrome, whenever I switch activities, the browser is right there on top for every activity. Firefox doesn't do this, nor does any other app I have tried. Anybody else seeing this? Anybody found a fix?

nope, both chrome and chromium do this, I don't know of a fix

Are you using system title bar and borders? I ask because I do and I don't get that behavior... and it seems reasonable that it could be applicable since no other normal apps mess with the window decorations like Chrome.

lol I hop into bed and then go duh, I could have just tested that... and yes it does seem that using the system title bar and borders does keep Chrome to it's own Activity.

I just tried switching to system title bars here and it didn't help in this case. Makes me want to avoid Chrome.

Well I also use the default GTK theme... some combination must be the fix because I could reproduce both ways...
