Description MK 2016-04-21 20:45:03 UTC 
This bug report form includes a section which says "copy the version text from the product's Help | About menu".

I presume this means the "Systems Settings->Help" menu; I am not aware of any other.  However, there are two "About" submenus under that "Help" on this up-to-date Fedora 23 system.  One is "About Systems Settings", which does have version information available (5.5.5), which obviously does not correspond to the choices here.

The other one is "About KDE", which has 4 tabs (including one with a link to this site), that include a number of paragraphs of information, a nice big mascot logo, etc. but *no where is there any version information*.

From checking via the system package manager, I would guess the version in relation to the ones listed above is 4.14.18 (although 4.14.1 is the last one listed in this form). 

I do not understand why System Settings -> Help -> About KDE does not include any version information that might be useful in, e.g., reporting bugs.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
No version information available.

Expected Results:  
A simple, "You are using KDE version n.n.n."

The bug reporter really wants the version of the program you are using, not a KDE version, which no longer exists.

>not a KDE version, which no longer exists //

So this is a website bug in that it shouldn't ask for the KDE version.

But -- and I've just being reporting a bug and found I couldn't look at this info at "Help > About KDE" as I always used to -- how then does one specify the KDE software that's installed if there are no longer any versions (which makes no sense to me, there clearly are versions even if you're choosing not to label them).
