Research direction

Start by searching the menu string tables for the exact literals Show 'Quit RetroArch' and Show 'Restart RetroArch'; the Settings → User Interface → Menu Item Visibility path points to the menu display/settings code. Check how neighboring visibility labels are defined, then update both literals to Show 'Quit' and Show 'Restart'. Done when the Menu Item Visibility screen shows the shortened labels and no old literals remain.

Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • This is a bug in RetroArch frontend*
  • I have searched the existing issues

Description*
In the RetroArch frontend settings/documentation/sublabels, the visibility options for quitting and restarting still reference the outdated strings "Show 'Quit RetroArch'" and "Show 'Restart RetroArch'" instead of the current shortened menu labels.

  • Path: Settings → User Interface → Menu Item Visibility
  • Outdated references: "Show 'Quit RetroArch'" and "Show 'Restart RetroArch'"

Expected behavior
References to these options should match the current UI labels:

  • Replace "Show 'Quit RetroArch'" with "Show 'Quit'"
  • Replace "Show 'Restart RetroArch'" with "Show 'Restart'"

Steps to reproduce the bug*

  1. Open RetroArch.
  2. Navigate to Settings → User Interface → Menu Item Visibility.
  3. Check the labels/sublabels for the Quit and Restart visibility toggles.
