It happened to me too and I found a solution: 1) Open /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop with sudo privileges in some editor.
2) Open Chromium or Chrome browser. Does not matter, if it shows in a different icon or not. 3) Open a terminal and type: xprop | grep WM_CLASS 4) Your mouse pointer will change into a cross. With this cross click anywhere inside the Chrome/ium window. Something like this will show up in the terminal: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Google-chrome-stable", "Google-chrome-stable" 5) In the editor, in which you opened the *.desktop file, write on the second line (after the [Desktop Entry]): StartupWMClass=Google-chrome-stable or StartupWMClass=whatever was in the terminal output (in either of the quotes). 6)Save the file and the result should be seen immediately.
