For some reason using rmb on the Google Chrome browser does not offer an option to move the browser to a different desktop (unlike all other apps).

Has anyone else seen this behaviour - or any suggested fixes. I llike Chrome - it's lightweight and fast - but this is pain - there must be a workaround.

TIA,
Patrick

Right click on the Chrome icon in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen and Select To Desktop -> 1,2,3,4

go to chrome options -> personal stuff and tick "use system title bars and borders" in the "appearance" section and restart chrome and normal kwin title bar will show up and normal kwin options will be available to you

Thx for your help  - turns out that my installation of Google Chrome was somehow corrupted - after reinstalling and following the suggestions above everything works correctly - fwiw before the reinstall rmb clicking in the Chrome title bar did not work correctly and the option to move to a new desktop was not appearing.


As usual - great support on this forum - kudos to Tekstar et al!
