SUMMARY The ability to add a shutdown / logout option to the lower half of the favourites panel is no longer available. Options can be removed but not added. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In kicker, open "power/session" menu 2. Click on "sleep" and drag to lower half favourites panel on left, then release mouse. 3. Open "power/session" menu 4. Right click on "sleep" OBSERVED RESULT It's possible to drag the sleep option to the favourites panel but it is not added there on releasing mouse. Right-clicking sleep option does not allow any option to add to favourites. EXPECTED RESULT It should be possible to add the sleep option (or any other) to the favourites panel. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (Note - also had confirmation from someone using Neon so does not appear distro specific) Operating System: AerynOS 2025.08 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.3 Kernel Version: 6.16.12-113.desktop (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am not sure if this bug appeared in the previous 6.5.0 version.
Drag & drop to the favorites sidebar is not supported for applications either. This is already requested in bug 383302, and would be a very nice feature to have, but it's a bit tricky to implement. Right-click should work, and I can confirm that it does not in 6.5. I'll look into it.
Thanks very much. I think as long as there's one way to do it the majority of us will be happy. On 09/11/2025 15:22, cwo wrote: > Right-click should work, and I can confirm that it does not in 6.5. I'll look > into it.

In particular, this applies to system actions. This case was not properly handled in the above commit, so it was not possible to add system actions to the favorites sidebar. Instead, we allow showing the context menu even if the actionList is empty, as long as a favoriteId is present.
