CassiaWindowList@klangman @klangman

What happened?

Each time applet updated it doesn't restart automatically like the rest. No errors/messages in the log.
Also reproducible with:

dbus-send --session --dest=org.Cinnamon.LookingGlass --type=method_call /org/Cinnamon/LookingGlass org.Cinnamon.LookingGlass.ReloadExtension string:'CassiaWindowList@klangman' string:'APPLET'

only full cinnamon restart (run r) restores the applet.

the bug is minor, but still annoying.

I did notice that issue some time back, but it slipped my mind so I forgot to look into it further. Thanks for the reminder.

Do you have two or more instances of Cassia in your setup? I do, and I found that if I remove my 2nd instance and then restart cinnamon, that failure to restart after an update no longer happens. I believe this might be a bug in Cinnamon. I am working on it.

I was able to recreate the issue by using the "reload" option in the hamburger menu on the configuration GUI.

Yes, I have 3 instances.

This is an issue in Cinnamon. I pushed a fix here linuxmint/cinnamon#13101
