Same problem occurs with a clean install of gutsy.

Should this really be low priority? Imagine you are migrating from windows, you are not a power user and you have never used KDE before. One of the first things you would find on logging in would be this very ugly and obviously buggy menu. What would you tell your friends about your first experience Ubuntu?

I can confirm it for the alternate CD.

This is a major usability issue. This should be set to critical if not showstopper. How did it get past quality control?

I found this fix on at http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3087586.msg94260#msg94260.

Please fix this properly! Not only is the problem very ugly, but it also makes reading the menus next to impossible once you have quite a few applications installed.

Good mroning,

I am wondering if this bug was resovled in one of the updates. I am unable to reproduce this bug. My system also does not have any problems w/ the _ in the entries in kmenu.
Can someone please update the status of this bug,

Jonathan
