Description Fabian Maurer 2017-01-18 00:09:12 UTC

This is an regression, since it used to work with earlier versions.
I'm using the "Application Menu" startmenu, and when searching for "Amarok" it sometimes doesn't show up. When manually searching the startmenu, it's listed under "Multimedia" though.
Things like reinstalling Amarok with "pacman -S amarok" or editing the applications in the startmenu most of the time help - at least until the next logout.

The problem is that is mostly random, I have no idea how to trigger the bug. Also, I only saw it happening with Amarok since I search for that the most often.
Ideas to help me testing?

Does the problem exist after the updates?

Not 100% sure since it's hard to reproduce, but I'm currently running 5.10.5 and can't seem reproduce the bug anymore. For me it's not an issue anymore.

Thanks for the update. Please reopen if it happens again.
