Bug ID: 502295
Summary: Error adding "/" in submenu name, but no error
reported by application
Classification: Applications
Product: kmenuedit
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: timedomainspindr...@proton.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When adding a "/" in a submenu name, the entry is either not saved or saves in
an erroneous state. The application does not give a warning that the character
is disallowed, the help doc does not mention this limitation, and pressing the
save button, the application acts exactly as it does with a valid save.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new submenu with a "/" in the title, such as "A/V". Add items from
other menus.
2a. Do not save, exit the program, and save via the "Save Menu Changes?"
prompt.
3a. View menu entry in menu launcher, note incorrect name.
4a. Re-enter menu editor and attempt to change submenu name, note changes do
not save.
2b. Save via the toolbar save button.
3b. Exit application, open menu launcher, note submenu is missing.
4b. Re-enter menu editor, note submenu is missing.
OBSERVED RESULT
New submenu either does not exist or saves with only the portion of name before
"/", and saves in a state where the name and icon cannot be altered.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either: menu entry should save properly; or if the "/" character is disallowed,
a warning or error message should appear to notify the user.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure if my issue will be clear from the above, so here it is in story
form: I was attempting to name a new submenu "A/V". When saving via the "Save
Menu Changes?" prompt upon closing the window, the submenu instead saves as
"A", but the name and icon cannot be edited upon re-entry into menu editor,
although applications can still be moved in and out. When saving via the
toolbar "save" button and then closing the application, the submenu does not
populate at all on the menu launcher and is gone the next time I enter menu
editor. I was able to delete the submenu and create a new named "AV", so I have
resolved my use case, but the application bug is still present.
This is my first issue created. If there's anything I should do differently in
filing please don't hesitate to let me know.
