Hi, 

When you want to add an application in the menu with alacarte, if you put spaces in the line "Command" it's impossible to press OK.

This bug seems to be fixed in other distros :

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752671


Currently the solution is to put a false command without spaces and create the shortcut. Then edit the file in "/home/"username"/.local/share/applications/" and write the good command.

MGA5-32 on Asus A6000VM Xfce
No installation issues
Launching alacarte from CLU shows no particular problem. I could add an item with command "gksu caja", no problem.

Validating; but @Jani it needs an advisory please. I can invent one if your Comment 1 has the right SRC RPM version.

Comment 7 Rémi Verschelde 2017-07-24 11:51:37 CEST

From what I can see both Cauldron and Mageia 6 have the same alacarte version as Mageia 5, but without the patch. So I think we might need an update candidate for Mageia 6 too before validating this one. The Mageia 5 tests stay valid though.
