> @Hugo Rens is this bug still relevant for you after updates?

Sorry for my lack of feedback, I didn't actually encountered the bug after a
few updates (as far as I can remember) and I'm afraid I can't tell you exactly
what update solved the issue. So no, the bug isn't relevant for me anymore.

Can I (and should I) do something to close/delete the issue ?

Oh, my bad...
Actually the windows remain usable (draggable, etc...) but there is no more
transparency effects (blurry panel, console background...), and this black
square on the top of the screen.

I haven't still been able to reproduce this bug, though.

No, both kwin and plasmashell remain usable.
Only the compositor, as far as I know, crashes. The systemtray and dashboard
are buggy but running.

[plasmashell] [Bug 366284] New: Compositor crashes after using dashboard until icon in systray is closed

[Hugo Rens via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366284

Bug ID: 366284
   Summary: Compositor crashes after using dashboard until icon in
systray is closed
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: 5.7.2
  Platform: Archlinux Packages
   URL: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0aDRLQv6ztAc1A0XzUz
d0NtSVU
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: crash
  Priority: NOR
 Component: System Tray
  Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: zhugoz.r...@gmail.com

Use of application dashboard seemingly brings the cowpositor (GLX 3.1 on ATI
with catalyst) to crash. A black square appears on the menu icon in the panel
and there is no more transparency or whatever.

FTW, panel is **located on top of the screen**, so the menu icon is on the
upper-left corner.

Any attempt to restart the compositor (eg killall plasmashell && kstart
plasmashell) will fail until every 3rd party apps' icons (telegram, skype, ...)
is clicked once.

When the latter is done, the black square disappears and a killall-kstart
brings the compositor back to life.

The figure shows in 1) where the black square appears and 2) what to click

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Applications Dashboard
2. Click an icon
3. Crash ?


Expected Results:  
Open the application dashboard and launch the clicked icon.

This could be a GL problem, probably caused by the driver. The system is an
arch linux with the catalyst driver installed, xorg version freezed to 1.6.

It may be important to notice that the bug 362531
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362531) is also present, I issue killall
and kstart at each login.

I'm aware this is certainly a niche problem, and that the bug is unreproducible
exept randomly, I just hope this bug will help undertand others.
