After some last Plasma updates near a week ago the Favorites in Classical Applications Menu (Kicker) became empty. It happened in the same day in openSUSE Leap 42.1 with unstable Plasma repo and in Neon developers unstable branch,and soon after that also in KaOS with kde-next repo. It is still possible to add some application to Favorites, but after re-login or Plasma restarting the Favorites again are empty.

Patch https://phabricator.kde.org/D3910
Git commit b7976f0c2628db05ee11841aa455afb426f946d7 by Eike Hein. Committed on 05/01/2017 at 10:04. Pushed by hein into branch 'master'. Fix race condition causing empty favorites. Summary: This puts the frontend in charge of calling refresh() after the favorites have been initially set by setting auto population at completion to false. Also preserves original behavior by keeping auto population default-on. Fixes a regression from 3e88ac6. This is an alternative to D3910.
