Created attachment 185168 [details] KDED showing strange message SUMMARY I hope this is the correct product for this bug - the notification has a title of "KDED" so I'm guessing so! (Incidentally, that jargon should maybe not be user-facing, but I guess that should be a separate bug). When I plug in a certain USB device, namely a wireless receiver for Xbox 360 gamepads, the notification that appears is not quite as expected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start a Plasma session 2. Plug in a Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller receiver 3. Look at the notification that appears OBSERVED RESULT Notification says: "©Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows has been plugged in." EXPECTED RESULT Notification says: "©Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows has been plugged in." SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250920 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.16.7-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION dmesg shows "Manufacturer: ©Microsoft" and "Product: Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows" so I'm guessing these two strings are combined, but for some reason a "Â" has been added before the "©".
I need to know what the notification sends, can you run: dbus-monitor --pcap > log.txt plug in the device, get the garbled notification, then hit control+c in the terminal and upload log.txt here

Pasting the relevant bit inline: ("System Notifications", uint32 0, "drive-removable-media-usb", "USB Device Detected", "©Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows has been plugged in.", @as [], {"desktop-entry": <"org.kde.kded6">, "urgency": <0>, "x-kde-appname": <"plasma_workspace">, "x-kde-eventId": <"deviceAdded">}, -1) The notification code is displaying things as received, the problem lies in the code emitting the notification or lower.
