STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure application launcher and set other applications to show in a grid. 2. Edit an application's name so that it starts with a lowercase latin letter or install such an application. (e.g qBittorrent) 3. Check All Applications. OBSERVED RESULT Application is delisted from All Applications while still visible in search and relevant categories. If it is the only entry that starts with that letter, the header letter is listed without entries. EXPECTED RESULT Application should be listed in All Applications. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2
I confirm this on git-master I already had a number of applications installed whose names are all lowercase ghostwriter, qBittorrent, gedit and others None of them are listed in All Applications when it's set to grid view They are listed in list view, and in search results
I can't reproduce this on master. I tried ghostwriter (Fedora rpm) and qBittorrent (Flatpak), both show up in All Applications, in the correct section.
Created attachment 192648 [details] Applications in grid layout missing ghostwriter I can still reproduce this on Plasma git-master. In this screenshot, ghostwriter should be listed but isn't.

I can reproduce it there, but it works in list view. Also, the color of the section headers is off. Are you using Union? I think it's a known issue there. Otherwise let me know and I'll try to dig a bit.

Git commit d4a2cd18a7138bf8cbd3f552ffeafbfbde7e4a14 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 28/05/2026 at 08:42. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: make appEntry group upper case Appentry's group property is generally the first letter of the app name, with special handling for non-letters and CJK. The letter is case- sensitive. This works fine in Kickoff's All Apps in list display style, which uses ListView.section and its built-in initial letter collation, but fails in grid display, which uses SortFilterProxyModels for the sections, which are case-sensitive, and so do not include apps that start with lower-case letters. Instead, collate in the model, by always using the upper-case letter as the group value.
