Attachments:	tabs missing in my kickoff kickoff: application launcher settings rearrange tabs in kickoff

Description Sebastian Kügler 2016-09-21 14:15:27 UTC

After opening, reordering tabs and *NOT* applying, I've lost all but the favorites tab in my Kickoff with no way to restore it (even after restarting plasmashell, they're still gone).

Here's what I did:
1. opened kickoff's config dialog
2. dragged around tab buttons
3. dismissed dialog

All tabs but the favorites one were gone at that point. When opening the config dialog, they're all shown as shown. There doesn't seem to be a way to restore it.

This is a grave problem as the tab reordering feature allows the user to inadvertently break an essential component of the workspace.

Reproducible: Didn't try

this is not a solution, but can you try with a clean (new) profile? It seems that it works in the live CD (unstable). 

Also, just noticed that some files were not created during the diff commit (I'll fix it soon)

Cannot reproduce :p

With the latest git update, you should be able to reorganizei the menus in kickoff. Just right-click kickoff and select "application launcher settings" (see screenshot) and then you can reorginize the menu items through drag'n'drop (see screenshot).
