Unable to match LibreOffice wm_class for spawning into group

See original GitHub issue

The issue:

I am trying to get LibreOffice (including Impress, Calc etc…) to appear in a certain group when spawned. I have managed to do this for lots of other programs. Below is the relevant section in my config

Group(
        "6",
        label="DOC",
        matches=[
            Match(
                wm_class=[
                    "libreoffice-writer",
                    "libreoffice-calc",
                    "libreoffice-impress",
                    "libreoffice",
                    "atril",
                ]
            ),
        ],
    ),

I checked with xprop and I am in fact targeting the correct wm_class, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I disabled the splash screen but still no success.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem?

I am running qtile 0.20.0.

Thanks!
