Hi, I noticed a minor bug in the desktop GUI.
When adding an app to favourites from the menu, it closes immediately.
While not critical, it affects the user experience, especially when reordering
apps or after a fresh install.
Great work on this amazing OS, and thank you for your dedication! Best regards.

Version: 6.6.7-1
Hi Roberto,
this was fixed upstream in linuxmint/cinnamon#12941: the "Add to
favorites" and "Remove from favorites" entries of the menu context menu
no longer close the menu, so you can add several favorites in a row. The
fix is in every 6.6 release, and in Debian it is in cinnamon since
6.6.7-1, currently in unstable and testing. I am therefore closing this bug.
Two things worth knowing:
- bookworm has cinnamon 5.6.8 and trixie has 6.4.10, both of which still
close the menu; this will not be changed in a stable release for a
cosmetic issue;
- the change deliberately covers the favorites entries only. "Add to
panel" and "Add to desktop" still close the menu, both in 6.6.9 and in
current upstream git. If that part also bothers you, it is worth saying
so upstream at https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues - it is a
decision the Cinnamon developers left open.
Thanks for the report, and for taking the time to clarify it back then.
