SUMMARY # First: I'm very unsure of where to file this bug. Please assign the correct Product, since I'm very likely in the wrong place. Thanks<3 # Issue: When pinning an app to the Application Menu's Favourites sidebar, there's no simple "Unpin" option. The only available is Right click > Show in favourites > unselect all checked activities If you have an app or document pinned, then uninstall/delete said app/doc, it stays in the favourite bar, with no apparant way to remove it. Right click > Show in favourites > will show every activity unchecked. With a deleted app I could "re-add" it to an activity, e.g. Default. Right click > Show in favourites > Select an activity (none are currently selected when deleted). Then Right click > Show in favourites > Un-check the activity and it's gone. With a document, there's no such way. No matter what you click, this workaround won't work. You're stuck with the deleted document in your favourites bar. The only way I found to circumvent this was to create a document with the same name in the same location, sort of tricking the shortcut in Favourites to think it wasn't deleted. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pin document/app to Favourites in Application Menu 2. Delete document/app from the system 3. Try to remove the pinned document/app from Applications Menu > Favourites OBSERVED RESULT You can't unpin the document/app from Favourites. EXPECTED RESULT To be able to unpin.
