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 Q4OS Team 2018-09-25 02:47:41 CDT 
I noticed that a couple of menu entries were placed strangely, for instance okular was placed in Start menu -> Office -> Office -> Okular which seemed to be one office directory too far. It seems to be the case mainly of KDE applications.

Exact steps to reproduce:
- Fresh TDE stable (14.0.5) installation on Debian Stretch.
- Install okular:
   sudo apt install okular
- Bug: Okular entry is placed in "Start menu -> Office -> Office -> Okular", I argue it would be more appropriate to be "Start menu -> Office -> Okular"

Hi Q4OS team, 
okular is not really a TDE package and perhaps its .desktop file uses two sublevel (just speculating...). Is this the only application in the "wrong" place or can you find others?
Comment 2 Q4OS Team 2018-10-05 10:30:21 CDT 
No, more applications are sorted this strange way. The "okular.desktop" file contains the correct Categories line:
Categories=Qt;KDE;Graphics;Office;Viewer;
It should appear directly in the "Office" start menu folder. In KDE Plasma it's sorted correctly, so I assume it's a TDE sorting glitch.
Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2018-10-05 11:53:00 CDT 
A difference with TDE applications is that they use a TDE category instead:

Categories=Qt;TDE;blah...blah...blah...

I will discuss with Slavek whether it would be better to mix TDE and KDE applications in the same category or have an additional KDE main group for all KDE applications (similar to the "debian" group in the menu).
Comment 4 Michele Calgaro 2018-10-06 09:30:07 CDT 
Discussed with Slavek. We will go for the mixed solution.
