Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Using the menu editor to edit an item changes it in (say) Applications, but not in "Favorites", if it's present there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start the menu editor.
Click on (say) Thunderbird.
Change Description from "Email" to "Email and Calendar"
Close menu editor.

Actual Results:  
Change shows up in its entry for Thunderbird in "Applications", but not in its entry in "Favorites".

Expected Results:  
Change should show up in the entry in "Favorites"

Logout/Login doesn't help.

Editor identifies itself as 0.8.

I was able to reproduce the bug

Comment 2 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-04-19 07:56:24 UTC

Changing status.

Comment 3 Graeme Hewson 2014-01-21 09:36:29 UTC

Agreed. A couple of times I've edited a command with the menu editor, clicked on the entry in Favourites, and then spent time wondering why my "updated" command isn't working properly.

If the entry in Favourites were a link instead of a copy, this might fix bug 280949 as well, if "dangling" links weren't displayed.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
