i remember having issue, try following:

go view ribbon, click on “raw values” , go shortcut item , check application field, should (notice .aspx in url , id parameter):

<link text="app name" linktype="internal" url="/applications/yourappname.aspx" id="{guid}" /> 

remove .aspx url , id parameter, this:

<link text="app name" linktype="internal" url="/applications/yourappname" /> 

hit save , reload sitecore desktop.
