SUMMARY
When I installed KDE neon Noble (several times due to new PC with
booting problems - related to ASUS&Ubuntu 24.04 LTS plus NVMe
which at least made the problem more severe) and configured it
(while adding things to the toolbar I 1st spotted a 'no text' menu
point - so I think that is directly related to the problem),
all config changes directly result in a broken menu structure:
there were menu points missing (one must rely on shortcuts etc.; like
'print' or 'configure toolbars') and some menue points are just showing
"now text".
I thought the next update may correct that - but it stays bugged for me.
So there is something really strange going on - while I can work (with
shortcuts - knowing okular quite well) - but it is an extreme annoyance.
Why is this problem not visible for developers and can stay for so long?
Would prefer communication in case this is not reproducable ... so that
this is solved for all soon.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install okular
2. configure it (especially toolbars - see screenshot)
3. using okular and seeing that menu is a mess
OBSERVED RESULT
The menu structure is broken:
1) some labeled are missing but show 'no text'
(I think this must be a fallback so this error should
be easy to find).
2) menu points are no longer there:
print - workaround: Ctrl|Strg-P,
configure toolbars - workaround:
right mouse click in toolbar etc.)
I always had these full toolbar and that never caused any problem ...
so there is something weird happening - and not catched even
when okular was updated ...
My 1st screenshot with that problem was on 14. Dec. 2024 - and I thought, such
a big problem
will just be solved with next release - but was not!
EXPECTED RESULT
Correct menu structure as with KDE 5
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
GNU/Linux: KDE neon 6.3 (freshly updated)
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.3.1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
KDE Gears 24.12.2
Qt Version: 6.8.2
# Mesa from Ubuntu Noble HWE2 - Mesa: 24.2.8
# Linux from Ubuntu Mainline-PPA - Linux: 6.12.16
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I just spotted the problem when installing KDE neon
Noble-based on the new PC and configured ocular
there - while the clones Jammy partition having already
Plasma 6 had no problem - but it was configured on
KDE Plasma 5 - so maybe the okular configuration is
broken by new KDE 6 in a way it disrupts the menu
structure ???
As KDE 6 created a huge pile of problems for my workflow,
I am still thinking about some subtile changes causing this.
But I am not sure that the problem is KDE related ... may
just be intuition - especially as this problem got not solved,
maybe most will not see it ?
