Bug ID: 505247
Summary: Dragging favorited Flatpak app installed in $HOME (not
systemwide) to the desktop *moves* its .desktop file
and breaks it
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.80
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker) widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Blocks: 446031
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. `flatpak install --user com.rafaelmardojai.Blanket`
2. Open Kicker/Kickoff/etc
3. Find Blanket in there somehow (browse list, KRunner, as a favorite; doesn't
matter)
4. Drag it to the desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
A symlink to a .desktop file gets *moved* from its former location to the
desktop. The symlink is broken, and now Blanket can't be found via Kickoff
anymore.
EXPECTED RESULT
New symlink to the desktop file gets created, and the original remains
untouched.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a worse variant of Bug 417731. There, the user was presented with
options, and selecting "Copy" produced the same broken file but did not damage
the original. Here, "Move" is automatically chosen with no options provided,
and moving the file (because it's read/write, because the flatpak is installed
in $HOME) breaks the app.
