Description Milan Hauth 2024-09-12 15:56:02 UTC

when i try to start an app via clicking
menu > favorites > some-app
then nothing happens, and the application starter stays open
at the favorites submenu

in contrast, starting apps works
from all non-favorites submenus in the application starter

this is NOT the default state after a fresh reboot

my guess is, this error state is caused by some broken app
which fails to start (returns nonzero exit code)
and only on the second try, the favorites submenu is broken

todo for myself: update plasma6

Can you run `journalctl -f` in a terminal window, then reproduce the problem? Hopefully some relevant-looking text will be printed in the terminal window and you can paste it here.

`journalctl -f` shows nothing when a menu item is in the "ignore clicks" state.

to make a menu item clickable again, i have to remove it from favorites, then add it to favorites again.
so this affects only some menu items of the favorites submenu.

How strange. I cannot reproduce it with current git master. Can you reproduce the issue in a new clean user account, with the only customization being that Kickoff has been replaced with Kicker?
