[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Here's what just worked for me. 25.04 insiders edge-dev.
- Get your PWA opened with the window you like, ignore that the icon doesn't appear.
- Find your app id edge://apps, you'll see it in the URL, long string.
- Alt-R (run), type `lg` (built in window class analyzer for Wayland)
- Click `Window`, find your window and find the window class, mine was msedge-_[YOUR-APP-ID-HERE]-Default
- Edit the .desktop file to pass the correct WM Class to Edge, i'm lazy so I used PinIt from flatpak but it's on snap too. If you use PinIt, just change the window class to the window class you found in step 4.
- Then launch your app and viola, icons are back!
I can't take credit for this resolution, it's a bug from 2022 when Microsoft introduced a Wayland optional flag, I'm guessing now that Wayland has become the default so now all the unresolved Wayland bugs are showing up. Either way, i've got my PWA back, hope it helps y'all!
Hello ArloGilbert !
You write "..icons are back" but the main problem described here is:
"All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group
Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps"
Was this solved for you as well or ever a problem? Did you mean to add this to PWA shortcuts don't keep asociated with window - Linux | Microsoft Community Hub ?
With kind regards,
Steve
Yeah "icons are back" as in "The individual PWA Icon in the dock is back such that the PWA launches and behaves as an independent app with a single window that doesn't open multiple and which does not show up as part of the browser app".
Thanks ArloGilbert for the clarification!
We can´t confirm this fix on our systems (Fedora 41, Edge 140 build 81), which version of the Edge DEV are you using?
Thanks,With kind regards,
Steve
