So, I've got this problem:
When I installed Sublime Text 3 and opened it, I typed some random text just to play with it. Sublime Text will start to title a new file with whatever text is on the first line of the file. That was showing up in the Launcher as part of the normal program dialog
I then 'Locked to Launcher' and closed it. But I've noticed now that the program title has inherited that garbled text. I'd love to fix that.
I've already checked it's .desktop file and I don't see the garbled text there. Any idea where I could look next?
I've also tried removing and reinstalling the program, but that didn't seem to fix it. That said, I think all the config files stayed when I removed it so whatever this issue is also stuck around.
Reinstalling won't fix it. Removing the local copy of the
.desktop
file will :).Look in
~/.local/share/applications
, find the offending.desktop
file and remove it. Log out and back in and it is fixed.Why reinstalling didn't fix it
Local
.desktop
files in~/.local/share/applications
overrule the global ones in/usr/share/applications
. Reinstalling will reinstall everything, except local files, like personal settings and local.desktop
files.
