Description Ali 2025-05-26 22:01:34 UTC

SUMMARY
When opening the Kickoff menu and clicking on "All Applications", the menu might sometimes blank out and show nothing, rather than actually show all apps, with the all applications category only loading after other categories are clicked on. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on Kickoff
2. Select All Applications
3. Witness the nothingness 

OBSERVED RESULT
Awkwardly blank Kickoff

EXPECTED RESULT
All my applications are shown

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maybe this could be a power management blunder? due to the way tuned-ppd handles intel chips, using a different method of downclocking that chokes desktop performance, though I've seen this on moments where I was running on the performance profile with high gpu utilization (ie, running a game). I can't consistently recreate this though, will attach a video and/or photo when I can.

I cannot reproduce this issue on current git master.

The view can go blank if kbuildsycoca6 ran at the same time, which would be the case if something was updating metadata for apps.

Does this ever happen in a new clean user account after a little bit of testing there?
