Bug ID: 454461
Summary: Desktop randomly freezes with unclear cause
Product: Active Window Control
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I use KDE neon the desktop seems to sometimes randomly freeze.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I have no idea how to reproduce this bug. First it seemed to be related to
Opera, because it would often freeze when I opened a new window, but recently I
got the same freeze when I opened JOSM.
The only thing I did was to open a Windows: So for Opera: Right Click + New
(private) Window. When I got the freeze with JOSM I opened it through the start
menu
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop freezes entirely. If music or a video is playing, the audio enters
a loop of about 2 seconds. The desktop does not react to anything anymore. No
clicks, no mouse, no keypresses, no Ctrl + Alt + F6 - nothing.
When I had some time I let the PC sit and see if it does somehow get back on
it's feet. Since it did not change after 20 minutes I gave up.
The only 'fix' I could work out is to hard reset the PC.
EXPECTED RESULT
A nice BSOD crash would help since it would save me the work or pressing the
restart button.
Optionally I would of course prefer the system to not-crash and not-freeze
since it's usually bad for the workflow :-)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have no idea if this is the right component since I have no idea what even
causes the crash.
I read about random freezes online with other distros as well which describe a
similar pattern on Debian (Including Ubuntu) and Arch (including Manjaro) based
systems. Though I have no idea if they are related or not.
