By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description engnailemail 2018-01-30 11:23:16 CST 
I uninstalled Konsole and set xterm to my default terminal application in the "default applications" section of the control center. After doing so I noticed that right clicking on the desktop to "Open terminal" from the context menu wasn't doing anything.

Strangely, adding an "Open terminal" button to the Konqueror toolbar and pressing it actually did open xterm like expected.

For testing purposes i set the default terminal to "vlc", and after doing so opening a terminal from the desktop started opening VLC. I tested this with a number of applications and they all worked, just not xterm.
