Research direction

Start by locating the grouped-window-list implementation in Cinnamon and reproduce the issue with Telegram and OnlyOffice installed as Flatpaks on LMDE 6 Faye. Trace how each application's window is assigned to an app group, then verify that OnlyOffice receives its own icon rather than joining Telegram's group.
