Created attachment 146509 [details] emacs example SUMMARY Before the upgrade to 5.24, I was able to rt-click on my desktop background for the /Application Launcher/ and launch an application. After the upgrade, for any application I try to launch, /Kate/ is run with that application's /.desktop/ file - see the attached /emacs/ example. The work-around is to use the /Application Launcher/ from the systray. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up the environment as follows: - /Wallpaper/ settings are: o Layout > Desktop o Wallpaper type > Plain Color - /Mouse Actions/ > /Right-Button/ > /Application Launcher/ 2. Mouse to the desktop background and rt-click. Pick any application to launch. OBSERVED RESULT Kate is launched with the application's .desktop file. EXPECTED RESULT Launch the application. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
