Bug ID: 366246 Summary: Plasmashell restarts randomly, taskbar disappears and reappears after +/- 10 seconds Product: plasmashell Version: 5.7.2 Platform: Slackware Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Task Manager Assignee: h...@kde.org Reporter: rpedr...@xstore.co.za CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Since upgrading to Plasma 5.7, I've had an issue where the taskbar will randomly disappear for a few seconds and then reappear. Also my desktop background goes black so I assume it's actually plasmashell that is restarting. I can force the issue by running the "About System" system settings module. There is no other specific desktop action that I can point to that causes this issue. dmesg shows nothing and system logs have no clue. This may relate to a much higher CPU usage than normal since the upgrade to Plasma 5.6. CPU usage of the plasmashell process is now directly linked to the no. of task bar icons in use. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use desktop 2. I can force the issue by restart the "About System" system settings module 3. Actual Results: Taskbar disappears Expected Results: Taskbar should not disappear Slackware 14.2 Plasma 5.7.2 Frameworks 5.24.0 QT 5.6.1 Kernel 4.4.14 NVidia 367.27 Multi-monitor -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
