General Issues

• No support for Administrator Mode in modules #151669
• Hardcoded size and use of QScrollArea to prevent resizing on module load is worse than resizing #153283
• Hardcoded layout (100px wide items) breaks when larger fonts are used #153285
• The item model is always sorted alphabetically #153288
• No menu, not sure if this is intentional, there is some menu code in the program.
• No application icon. I have switched to "preferences-other" for now. User:Bille
• Krush bug reports
• Toolbar can be disabled and not reenabled. #151667
