At the time it was 9.10 with the standard version of Alacarte. The way I did this at first was like this:
1. Install Google Chrome 2. Go to a URL which has a query string with multiple arguments - thus a floating ampersand in it. For example, http://launchpad.net?&; 3. Click on the Page button and select Create Application Shortcuts... 4. Tick "Applications menu" and press OK 5. A menu item appears in the menu in Applications -> Internet 6. Start Alacarte (this time I ran it from the command line as alacarte rather than via the menus, to get stdout and stderr) 7. Find the added item 8. Disable it (editing it would probably have worked as well, I think) 9. Watch the menu break With 10.04 though, I can't reproduce this. It seems to me that the bug has been fixed in between alacarte versions 0.12.4-0ubuntu2 and 0.13.1-0ubuntu1. So under that assumption, I'm closing this bug report as fixed.
