Why I can't change position of this application icon in the launcher? I can't move from last icon position

cn flag

I have installed STS (Spring Tool Suite) IDE on Ubuntu 20.04 and I am finding the following problem with the icon in the launcher.

The problem is that executing this application, it correctly start but the icon is fixed as last element in my launcher left vertical bar:

It is pretty unconfortable. I can't move it another position (as I have done for all the other icons). If I try to drag and drop this icon in another position (between other icons in my launcher bar) it come back to the last position.

I also created an sts.desktop file and I put it into the /home/andrea/.local/share/applications directory, this is its content:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=sts
Comment=Spring Tool Suite
Icon=/home/andrea/DEV-TOOLS/sts-4.11.0.RELEASE/icon.xpm
Exec=/home/andrea/DEV-TOOLS/sts-4.11.0.RELEASE/SpringToolSuite4
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
StartupWMClass=STS

After that I created this file if I search "sts" into my application it find it and clicking on the icon it is executed but I still have the same problem: the icon is the last one and I can't change its position

can you move any of the others? I have found (on 20.04) that you have to left click and move in almost one action. You could also try reducing the size of the icons in the dock.

@24601 the strange thing is that I can move other icons without any problem

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
