Bug ID: 520894
Summary: Cannot remove menu item from favorites if name
includes a capital letter and a colon
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.6.5
Reported In:
Platform: EndeavourOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
(Maybe this is primarily a kmenuedit bug, but kickoff is misbehaving too.)
DESCRIPTION
Menu items with names that include a capital letter and a colon (:) can't be
removed from favorites.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new item with the KDE Menu Editor, for example "Test: 1" ("Test:",
":TEST", or "tEs:t" also work). The program you point to doesn't matter, but I
used konsole.
2. Add this new item to your favorites using the Application Launcher
(Kickoff).
3. Try to remove the new item from your favorites.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.
journalctl -f prints the following whenever I try to remove the item from my
favorites:
plasmashell[942]: Entry is not valid "test: 1.desktop" 0x55fedbd93a60
The memory address (?) changes whenever I do this.
Note that the filename in the log is in lowercase ("test: 1" instead of "Test:
1").
Removing the capital letter and the colon from the item name with the KDE Menu
Editor doesn't work; the item still can't be removed. The only way to remove
the entry from my favorites is to delete the .desktop file directly from
/home/user/.local/share/applications/
EXPECTED RESULT
The item should be removed from my favorites. Alternatively, the KDE Menu
Editor should disallow these invalid names.
