Description William 2021-12-04 15:18:13 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use icon theme that inherits nothing but hicolor in index.theme
2. test an app that has an icon in hicolor and breeze themes but not in your theme


OBSERVED RESULT
the app uses the "wrong" icon from the breeze theme even though ur inherits chain should check first (and only) in hicolor

EXPECTED RESULT
the app icon that is present in hicolor theme is used

obviously the icon theme from step 1 is not breeze itself.

Can you test with Frameworks 5.89 once it's released in a week? If that fixes it, then it's the same issue as Bug 445804.

I can test it right now on KDE Neon Unstable Edition with frameworks 5.89.0 and the bahaviour is still exactly the same. breeze icons show up for apps even though the breeze icon theme is nowhere in the inherits chain and the icon exists in hicolor theme.

OK, thanks. It does seem like a different issue.
Comment 6 William 2022-01-01 19:17:22 UTC 
i dont wanna exagerate here but isnt this kinda a big issue? people who use different icon-themes to not want to have apps icons falling back to breeze, apps like Steam bring their own icon and with this bug alive those icons will never be used in any case, beacuse there exists a steam icon in the breeze-icon theme.
