Description zb 2018-12-10 00:29:42 UTC 
SUMMARY

Copying a menu entry to the desktop creates a broken symlink instead of a copy.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click and drag menu entry to desktop
2. Select copy in context menu

OBSERVED RESULT

Creates a link to a non-existent .desktop file with ../ as base path. For example copying Kate to desktop creates a link to ../kate.desktop

EXPECTED RESULT

Create a copy of the .desktop file in the desktop folder.

Cannot reproduce in Plasma 5.14.4 or git master. Assuming it's been fixed since then.
