          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR

Hello,

Currently, it is not possible to do any rearrangements to the menu that concern
moving an application from one submenu to another without corrupting the
configuration.

Steps to replicate the issue:
1. reset the menu configuration to system default via the corresponding
application menu in the menu editor
2. take the appications 'DVDstyler' and gOCR that once installed is being
listed in an extra  submenu 'unassigned'. 
3. drag and drop them one by one to the multimedia submenu
4. save
5. run kbuildsycoca5
6. error message "Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/...", version 303)
Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps")
kf5.kservice.sycoca: The menu spec file contains a Layout or DefaultLayout tag
without the mandatory Merge tag inside. Please fix your file."
7. From now on KDE Plasma 5 will crash frequently while browsing the menu...

I am on openSUSE Leap 42.2 64-bit which is the latest stable release and has
only been installed recently as a clean install. 
KDE Plasma Version is 5.8.3, KDE Frameworks Version is 5.26.0, QT-Version is
5.6.1.
