Description zless 2013-09-17 17:51:35 UTC

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

I just compiled and installed the todo plasmoid 
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/todo+list?content=90706

When I tried to drag it onto the desktop plasma freezed for ~10 seconds and then it crashed.
It also happens after a logout/login.

The crash can be reproduced everytime.

I attached the crash report as it's quite large for a comment.

Reproducible: Always

There is an infinite recursion in "plasma_engine_todo", probably caused by Akonadi changes regarding item monitoring. Since the downstream version has not been updated for a while, I guess it won't be fixed there.

If you can provide a backtrace with debug information for "plasma_engine_todo" and "libakonadi-kde" enabled, Akonadi developers could have a look at it.

Thanks for the pointers.

I've attached a new log with debugging symbols for those packages.

The newly attached backtrace still lacks important debug symbols. See this guide[1].

Hello! Plasma 4 was replaced by Plasma 5 four years ago by the KDE community. In that time we have made great strides in stability and functionality. We are closing all Plasma 4 bugs as most of them are no longer applicable to the new frameworks Plasma 5 is built upon. If you could, please re-test with the latest version of Plasma 5, and submit a new bug to "plasmashell" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
