by default, when a program in moved up [my taskbar is on the left side of the screen], it becomes favorite program and is pinned on the taskbar. but i want to just move around the programs without making them favourite, is there some way to do so?

  • Hello. What version of Ubuntu are you using. I use Ubuntu 20.04 and it does not do that.

In 20.04 (and ubuntu generally) this only occurs if you are actually running the program and is the default position.

There is no way of changing this behaviour.

If, for some unspecified reason, you wish to move the position of the icon on the dock whilst you are running the program, do so as required then after you have finished with it, right click on the icon and select Remove from Favourites after which it can again be selected from Show Applications as per normal.

  • Yes. Even the Dash to Panel extension does not allow this.
