Bug ID: 511710
Summary: TypeError in symbolicizeIconName when iconName is
undefined (org.kde.desktopcontainment)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Place a .desktop file with a valid URL on the KDE desktop
2. Click the .desktop file to open URL in Firefox (in different Activity)
3. Plasma panels and desktop controls disappear
OBSERVED RESULT:
- All panels and screen-edge/corner controls stop responding
- journalctl shows:
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml:81:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'endsWith' of undefined
EXPECTED RESULT:
- Controls should remain functional
- Function should handle undefined iconName gracefully
SOFTWARE VERSIONS:
Arch Linux
KDE Plasma 6.x
Wayland session
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The symbolicizeIconName() function in main.qml (line 81) doesn't check if
iconName
is defined before calling .endsWith(). Suggested fix: add null/undefined check
at
function start.
