<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">OS X has a so-called Application menu, sitting in the MenuBar between the Apple (?) menu and the File menu, that has items (actions) such as About and Preferences, which are meant to play the respective roles for the application.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Qt4 for Mac uses <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">QAction::text()</code> based heuristics to decide which items get <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">PreferencesRole</code>, <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">AboutRole</code> etc. roles and thus are put in the Application menu. This works fine for applications that create the standard menu actions via KStandardAction. Applications that do not adhere to that scheme, or that create menu actions with matching names <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">before</em> the standard actions will end up having the wrong actions in the Application menu. For KDevelop, this means that the About menu item will invoke <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">About KDevelop Platform</code> and the Preferences item <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">Configure selection</code> (normally in the Project menu). The former misinterpretation isn't a huge deal, but launching a project's configure/cmake procedure (without any kind of confirmation asked) when you think you'll be opening a settings panel is more than just annoying.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The patch is simple: set the "incriminated" actions' <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">menuRole</code> to <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">NoRole</code> when they are created, on OS X. This prevents them from being put in the Application menu even when the patches from the above RR are not installed (though in that latter case the Preferences menu will probably invoke another unintended action).</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I have not yet looked into how this plays out on Qt5/KF5. The patch presented here should have the same effect if menu roles function the same way as in Qt4. If Qt5 uses comparable heuristics and <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">KAction</code> made the transition to KF5, the other kdelibs patches should port over easily.</p></pre>
