Bug ID: 470766
Summary: Search bar in Overview causes Desktop to Freeze (X11)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Using the search bar in the Overview will 7/10 times cause KWin and/or
Plasmashell to crash.
It doesn't happen every time, but if you use it enough, the desktop will
freeze.
The compositor clearly dies, as transparency effects disappear, but the whole
desktop is still visible,
and the cursor still moves, so I know it's not the display server freezing, but
clicking on anything does nothing.
Not the panel, desktop icons. Keyboard shortcuts also do not respond. No task
switcher or xkill either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Overview effcet
2. Type anything into search bar
3. Exit Overview
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop freezes; stays visible, but icons and keyboard shortcuts do
nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
Search results to display
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Archlinux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.3.2-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 610
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bizarrely, if you restart plasmashell (killall plasmashell && kstart5
plasmashell), the desktop will come back, but KWin will not restart. And
plasmashell --replace has no effect. So I'm not certain if it's plasmashell,
KWin, or both that's crashing.
This is specifically related to the Overview effect, as regular Krunner works
fine.
I've experienced this bug ever since my system updated to 5.27.5.
