Classification: Plasma

SUMMARY
App cannot be opened from Favorites until plasmashell restart after overriding
.desktop file
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add any application to Favorites that does not have an overriding .desktop
file in ~/.local/share/applications/
2. Create an overriding .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ (for
example, using the KDE Menu Editor)
3. Click the app icon in the Favorites folder
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens; neither the app nor an error dialog opens
EXPECTED RESULT
App opens normally
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 13 Stable, Linux 6.12.57
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same behavior is observed in the Application Dashboard and Application Menu
as well.
Running the app from KRunner, the Task Manager widget, or directly from Dolphin
works as expected.
Also tested on KDE Neon Testing (neon-testing-20251118-0031.iso) in a virtual
machine; the same behavior was observed.
The problem disappears after restarting plasmashell or changing the widget
using the "Show Alternatives" button in the current session.
Running kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental has no effect.
dbus-monitor --session and plasmashell --replace with
QT_LOGGING_RULES="org.kde.plasma.*=true" output no logs when trying to run the
app.
