Duplicated Virtuoso icons in taskbar

MichR

Our systems are experiencing a graphical problem that makes all the Virtuoso icons in the taskbar to be a duplicate of one Virtuoso window.

This is what we usually see:


Note the schematic editor icon has been used for all the windows, including the symbol and hierarchy editors and the CIW.

This is what we should normally see:

Our systems are using CentOS 7.9 and the latest release of Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.8. This problem is only involving Cadence Virtuoso and not the other installed software, whose icons appear as they should be.

So far, we have figured out that this problem happens when the computers are resumed from suspension mode. A workaround that we found is to restart the GNOME shell upon the systems resume by executing the following terminal command:

killall -3 gnome-shell


However, we would like to understand if there is a more direct solution that is perhaps due to a misconfiguration of Virtuoso.

We have already browsed the Cadence Support, but we did not find any similar issue as ours.

    I don't think this is anything to do with Virtuoso, but the window manager you're using (presumably Gnome). I don't think there's anything the Virtuoso can do about this - it knows nothing about the window manager in use (X applications wouldn't in general know this).

    I see.. Then I guess the only workaround is to make the system run that command every time it is resumed from sleep mode.

    Thank you anyway for your prompt response.
