Description Olivier Crête 2016-11-23 23:22:08 UTC
When using the Wayland session (but not with old X), the LibreOffice application icons are mission from gnome-shell (from the topbar, switcher, overview, etc). It's replaced by the generic one I assume it's because it fails to find the desktop file, as it also calls it "soffice".

The same versions work fine in non-Wayland mode (using the "GNOME on Xorg" session).

Using: gnome-shell-3.22.1-2.fc25.x86_64

why duplicate? libreoffice is gtk3, not qt5.
Comment 3 Daniel Boles 2017-08-20 19:51:05 UTC
OK, reopened. There are so many of these 'app icons do not always show in Wayland' that it's hard to tell them apart. I wonder if they aren't ultimately dupes of this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768531

but sure, let's have another, just in case.

I presume you CCd to this because you can confirm it still occurs on current GTK+/GNOME Shell versions?

Since update to libreoffice 5.4 this bug is solved on my system.
I'm testing Gnome 3.26 beta on Antergos (Arch-based).

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
