kmenueditor segfaults
Hi all, just a brief note here -
On bookworm, stock Plasma 5.27.5, Frameworks 5.103.0, Qt 5.15.8, X11,
running VirtualBox, I created a new entry in kmenuedit by copying the
application path of the *.desktop entry for starting a virtual machine
into the command line for the new kmenu entry.
The entry didn't work, for one, but I'm reporting this here because this
part of the command
#--comment "my-vbox" --startvm "{4b7f7ba2-fa98-43c9-a73b-1d24fbedaf7f}"
caused kmenuedit to segfault when I right clicked on the kmenu entry in
order to fix it, mostly even taking down plasmashell (which recovers).
No traceback was created.
I was able to add the entry to the favorites and then to the Desktop. On
the Desktop right clicking on the file for looking at the "properties"
also caused a plasmashell segfault. I could, however, open the entry
with Kate (acutally a link to the kmenu entry), remove the culprit
(maybe the curly brackets?). Only then could I delete the original entry
in kmenueditor.
Perhaps the brackets or other parts of the string from above could be
caught/neutralized somewhere to avoid the crashes. Dunno if this is
worth a bug report, and if so, where - upstream?
Greetings,
Andreas
