Description Anthony Wang 2025-05-02 19:15:30 UTC 
Bug #438959 seems to be back in Plasma 6.3. Normally the Alt shortcut for shutdown is Alt+H but yesterday I noticed it was Alt+T and then Alt+U and then today it's also been Alt+D and Alt+W and now back to Alt+H. There was also a thread on KDE discuss about this bug: https://discuss.kde.org/t/kickoff-mnemonics-keep-changing/32557

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kickoff menu (e.g. with Super key)
2. Press Alt to show keyboard shortcuts

OBSERVED RESULT
Occasionally the keyboard shortcut mapping will be different.

EXPECTED RESULT
The keyboard shortcuts should always be the same.

Hi - I can reproduce this in various forms on my Fedora KDE 42 device - today, it was the mnemonics being missing for all but Restart and Shut Down, and then later the Places mnemonic showing visually, but not functioning.

Thanks!
