           Summary: Unable to unpin documents/apps from Application Menu
                    after deleting the document/app from system

SUMMARY

# First: I'm very unsure of where to file this bug. Please assign the correct
Product, since I'm very likely in the wrong place. Thanks<3

# Issue:
When pinning an app to the Application Menu's Favourites sidebar, there's no
simple "Unpin" option.
The only available is Right click > Show in favourites > unselect all checked
activities

If you have an app or document pinned, then uninstall/delete said app/doc, it
stays in the favourite bar, with no apparant way to remove it. Right click >
Show in favourites > will show every activity unchecked.

With a deleted app I could "re-add" it to an activity, e.g. Default. Right
click > Show in favourites > Select an activity (none are currently selected
when deleted). Then Right click > Show in favourites > Un-check the activity
and it's gone.

With a document, there's no such way. No matter what you click, this workaround
won't work. You're stuck with the deleted document in your favourites bar.
The only way I found to circumvent this was to create a document with the same
name in the same location, sort of tricking the shortcut in Favourites to think
it wasn't deleted.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pin document/app to Favourites in Application Menu
2. Delete document/app from the system
3. Try to remove the pinned document/app from Applications Menu > Favourites


OBSERVED RESULT
You can't unpin the document/app from Favourites.


EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to unpin.
