Every time I open a new window of Files, its icon shows up as a separate one from the pinned one. This also happens for Blender (snap version). This never happened for Files in 17.04 (but happened to Blender), but since I upgraded to 17.10 it started happening, because then I switched to Wayland. It does not happen in the Xorg session on 17.10. How can I stop it from making separate icons for each window and group them in the main pinned icon?

@pomsky It didn't work. Wouldn't receive WM_CLASS – Tooniis Jan 23 '18 at 17:43
Switch to an Xorg session from Wayland first. There you should be able to get the strings. – pomsky Jan 23 '18 at 17:54
@pomsky the bug doesn't exist in Xorg anyway, and even after doing what that answer suggested in Xorg then going back to Wayland, the bug still exists. I think that answer is a solution only for Xorg. – Tooniis Jan 24 '18 at 12:07
