Can reproduce. Presumably because kbuildsycocoa5/6 triggers a refresh and the view doesn't re-populate afterwards. I noticed this behavior on my Arch Linux a few days ago when using Kickoff while installing updates with pacman. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland Can also still reproduce, even after Bug 481855 was fixed. Perhaps a similar change needs to be applied here. Likely the same cause as bug 504891 and I can't reproduce this anymore with the fix to that bug applied. If it still happens in 6.4, please reopen. |
SUMMARY When installing a new app (like from "apt") when Kickoff is open, the app grid becomes empty when the installation is finished. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. (Re-)Install for example Firefox ("apt install -y firefox") 2. Open Kickoff and select "Internet" category before the installation is finished OBSERVED RESULT Once the installation is finished, the applications grid is empty. Changing the category, or re-opening Kickoff, displays correctly the grid with Firefox installed. EXPECTED RESULT The application grid should be not become empty, and the newly application should appear in the relevant category without having to change category or to close then re-open Kickoff.
