Description Mihail Bc 2016-07-09 21:05:07 CEST
very confusing menu I find it to be in this sta1 6 release. Cant it be customized from you or at least after, because there are to many clicks until the desired program. It would be better to show those "other" in the same category. In tool, you have some apps, but at the end you have "other" tab that bring another app and so on, the up-down list is too short, instead you have to click click click and will form a line left-right, you then have back-forward style instead on scrolling, which is quite annoying for me, cant you survey this, please?

an another thing, you should include the terminal in the menu bottom, or somewhere else, where it can be much handy. I searched a lot for it the menu, and only found it after typing for it in the search field. Did the job but its not handy enough.

on which desktop ?
(I guess it's a deuplicate bugs if you are speaking of program in the 'other' subgroup)

Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages

Manuel, nu, the program are not duplicate its like having 3 files in a folder and another folder with other files in the same folder with the 3 files. Folders should not have subfolders in the main menu, but only files. Hope I was clearer now. For instance, check linux Mint Mate, has everything nice and clear and besides very handy! Not much navigation to reach an app, like in Mageia Kde.

I think neoclust already changed (some) behaviour in plasma 5.7.0, but that wont affect older accounts as we dont forcibly change user configs....

Try with a new account and see if it makes any difference

thanks Thomas, anyway, minor observation from my part, I just like things simple and handy, not necesarily modern.

This is with a right click on the desktop now.
