QubesOS
Searching for a string containing specific characters changes the entries in app menu
Qubes OS release
r4.2
Brief summary
Searching for any string containing hyphen (or space) in Qubes App menu, changes the name of the shortcuts in the sub menu.
Steps to reproduce
Open Qubes App menu, search for debian-12, and look in the left panel, which provides the actual shortcuts. The names should be something unusable like debian-12debian-12debian-12debian-12debian-12debian-12debian-12: Qube Settings.
Expected behavior
The previous working behavior : nothing change in shortcuts except the highlighting of the search words
Actual behavior
The menu is unusable.
Additional information
I've seen it too, I think it happens if the qube name includes a dash character.
.... damn regexes (I've had a problem, I usede regexes, now I have an undetermined number of problems...)
absolute surprise: I don't think it was regexes. Also, this should fix this bug and not break more things, hopefully.
