Kicker isn't involved with managing the shortcut, so this has to be a more general problem.

I am really getting tired of these KDE bugs. I can confirm this bug. Notably is that this item is listed twice (Activate Appliction Menu Widget). Just within several days I have encountered:

- Konsole not remembering settings
- Dolphin not remembering settings
- the "unify screens" feature for a dual screen setup completely rendering the system in an unusable state.

and now this shortcut constantly getting deleted. Great.

Can confirm this bug in:

Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches
Plasma: 5.11.3
Frameworks: 5.41.0
Qt: 5.9.2
Kernel 4.10.0-38-generic
Type: 64-bit

Looks related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346918

applet.cpp calls     KGlobalAccel::self()->setShortcut(d->activationAction, seqs, KGlobalAccel::NoAutoloading);
