uadnan Registered Member Posts 2 Karma 0 OS	Duplicate entries in Applications Menu Tue Dec 06, 2016 4:45 am Anyone addressed the issue of having vague and duplicate menu entries yet? For example, if you write down "widget", "Advanced" or "decoration(s)" in the search bar of the Applications Menu it shows vague and duplicate entries (even though they are different menus) [] [] [*]

If not then you can't assume that anybody knows about it or has done anything about it. I've seen a similar problem in Enlightenment's Everything launcher, and I agree that it is rather obnoxious (especially when one of the two "duplicates" works and the other doesn't, but there is nothing to indicate which one is which) Doing some brief testing I can't reproduce it, but I'm on KDE/Plasma 4 still and using kickoff instead of homerun, so that doesn't help any. I'd suggest you write up a bug report in bugs.kde.org airdrik, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Dec.

However I can't find kickoff (https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Kickoff) in the list of programs in the list provided in https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi Last edited by uadnan on Fri Dec 09, 2016 5:11 am, edited 1 time in total.

I think the version of KDE plasma and distribution you're using is relevant and makes a difference for what experiences or bugs different users report. I'm running KDE Neon and have never seen this issue. I used Kubuntu for years before and I don't recall issues like this either.
