budgie-desktop-10.6.4_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
After installing an application, the menu contains that application
Actual behaviour
The application menu only seems to update under certain conditions such as application removal. I wonder if a hook is missing
Steps to reproduce
- Launch a session of the Budgie desktop
- Open terminal of choice and use
xbps-installto install an application (say,epiphany) - Open the menu and start typing the application's name

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by installing an application with xbps-install during an active Budgie session, then check when the application menu refreshes. Trace the installation and menu-update path to identify the missing refresh behavior. Done means a newly installed application appears in the menu without requiring a removal or other unrelated trigger.
