I saw it happen several times on both machines (debian testing/arch) in the last days: the favorite list starts again after the last item.

• I still am not able to trigger it precisely unfortunately
• I suspect it happens with local favorites from ~/.local/share/applications when editing them, or adding new ones.

Now I eliminated all local favorites, waiting. Sorry for not being more precise.

While trying to compile WingMenu on Debian 11, i encountered following errors:

At first launch I was impressed: it was huge, took 2/3 of screen height.

I learned it's size depends on icon size setting of the panel later. But average users won't, and panel icons usually are bigger than menu icons, for reasons of space.

I see two approaches:

• use icon size of panel but reduced to 2/3 or 1/2
• configurable icon size/menu size

When trying to load a file .desktop in "Leave actions" none are displayed:

First of all thanks a lot for the effort!

This is not really an issue but I see that the buttons shutdown, hibernate and so one are alphabetically ordered like the menu and the categories, so in different languages the ordering changes quite randomly.

A default ordering could be from bottom up (or top down) "shutdown - reboot - hibernate - suspend- logout".

Or make ordering/removal (lxqt-leave, hibernate) by D&D possible?

i am trying to compile wingmenu plugin on Debian 12 , to be included in PakOS 12 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pakos/).
Since wingmenu could not be compiled on Debian 11, due to an old qt version, so hoping it could be done on Debian 12, i tried installing dependencies with following errors:
sudo apt install git build-essential cmake qttools5-dev liblxqt0-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev liblxqt-globalkeys-ui0-dev liblxqt-globalkeys0-dev

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:

Please post latest dependency list for compiling wingmenu on Debian 12. I need to include it in PakOS 12.
Thx

It's some kind of random, but usually something is selected already when opening the menu, depending where the selection was.

Steps to reproduce:

1. select one favorite, launch it or exit the menu moving the cursor out of it
2. reopen it and hit enter, the previous selection is still there and will be launched.

With item of the categories it's different, another item is selected at reopening, didn't track down the mechanism.

The menu starts normally but when category is changed by hovering a weird box appears around all category text.
Does not appear around apps list or logout menu.

But when using keyboard for navigation it is present on logout menu, apps list and categories depending on which is being changed.

Using keyboard for navigation.

On archlinux, using latest commit with Kvantum Engine and MateriaDark theme, system theme is selected in LxQt themes.

The Menu looks super amazing btw.

No explanation needed.

Please include feasible opensource license and comply, if is GPL-based, the source code header with license copyright annotation.

Noticed that there is no right click menu anymore on menu items, therefore "Favorites" is essentially broken. Maybe this is due to an update of qt5, recompiling doesn't fix it.

Distro: Archlinux

When there are no favorites "All applications" is shown in applicationsview, which is confusing.

A place holder (a default favorite?) "No favorites yet here" or similar could avoid that.

I'm afraid that this is the last issue I can find.

Should I insert it in https://translate.lxqt-project.org/ ?

I see that some menus have that, if it's possible why not offer it too? But IMO better optional, kind of:

[x] Show "Last used"
   Show last [8] applications
   [ ] Display "Last used" instead of favorites

When using the "simple" menu file the icon is shown under "about":

Here I stripped also "preferences" from that menu (downside is that the search won't find any configuration).
