Hello!

Used my gihub account to register with xcfe gitlab, but found nothing, where I an file a bug.

How to do it for this propblem:

Short description
- click the Whisker Menu button in your panel
the whisher menu opens, an control acting as commandline on top
- enter a command and press enter
not my command will be executed, but a Libre Office Database Wizard

The BUG is:
- no error message about a probably not found command
- wrong application will start
- no errorlog has been written

This is really bad behavior

Thanks,
Manfred

on https://gitlab.xfce.org click to Project, in search bar type : whisker
and is show: https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/x … enu-plugin
on left panel click on Issues...

not know what is "command" you try run from Whisker Menu search/command bar, but in general for me:
- if typed is recognised as command, as "application" is selected "Run <typed_command>"
- if typed is recognised as application, then is selected this application
- not sure what exact rules, but is possible some type of typos, as missed characters, ex. if type: vvad then still filter app: Vivaldi
- and typing is not recognised, then show "big" banner in active color with "No applications found" and pressing Enter do nothing

Added later 13 min 08 s:
EDIT: anyway for run command is i think better use xfce4-appfinder which is by default assigned (as xfrun4 symlink) to alt+f2 hotkey, in this you have also history of typed commands
