2. Open Kicker again, the list of favorites has not been refreshed

OBSERVED RESULT
Old favorites are displayed (until kicker is restarted, either by restarting plasma or by switching to kickoff and back)

New favorites are displayed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  OpenMandriva Cooker
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nothing overly suspicious in console output. This might be triggered by distro default configs, but we're not applying any related patches.

Cannot reproduce with current git master. There were some activity manager changes recently, so maybe they've fixed it? Any chance you can test the current git master version, or the 5.26 beta release which will come out in two days? Thanks!

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkränzer 2022-09-17 22:39:46 UTC

5.25.90 behaves the same way.

Comment 3 Fushan Wen 2022-09-18 00:56:33 UTC

Cannot reproduce on master either. Perhaps need to test with KF5.99
