Bug#902744: plasma-workspace: Applications won't stay pinned to their Activity
I would like to add some info regarding the bug report below. I subsequently did a complete reinstall of my system and recreated my original Activities, except for one of the lesser used.
Afterwards, all was good. Apps stayed pinned to their Activities. After many days of trouble free interaction, I decided to reinstate the one Activity I failed to create after the reinstall. Doing so resulted in the same behavior as before, apps being opened across ALL Activities.
It seems it's due to one particular KDE app, KInfocenter (Info Center). Immediately after pinning that app to the new Activity, then logging out and back in, the problem reappeared.
