Comment 1 Jin Liu 2023-02-17 05:13:46 UTC 
I guess this is due to editing an app creates a new .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications, while Favorites still points to the old location?
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2023-02-17 07:48:41 UTC 
Confirmed. Only happens on newly favourited apps. The defaults can be edited without any issues.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-02-17 21:00:22 UTC 
Can reproduce. Restarting plasmashell makes the issue stop happening.
