Try to use [Tab] key from keyboard to complete the command or path when you are typing something. You will get exactly the same freeze. > In fact it looks like konsole gets blocked trying to connect to certain not > running network service. > > I don't know it it matters, but I use konsole in the MATE session. Yes, this is important. When program is launched directly in KDE session this bug is not reproducible. But this bug could but easily reproduced even in KDE session. If there are two users in your system (user1 and user2) and you have logged in as user1 then launch: $ ssh -C -X -p 22 user2@localhost konsole and you will be able to see a number of issues in launched KDE application. One of these issues is a bug described above. Best regards, Boris
