Sentry Crash Report:

Description Aled Hughes 2015-10-11 15:54:44 UTC

Application: plasmashell (5.4.1)

Qt Version: 5.5.0
Operating System: Linux 4.1.10-200.fc22.x86_64 x86_64
Distribution: "Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two)"

-- Information about the crash:
My set-up has two monitors - one connected via DisplayPort the other via HDMI all from on-board mobo with Intel Z87 chipset.
If the system is left running with the monitors turned on then generally it is stable, but as soon as monitors are turned off then it can all go a bit wierd - the default KDE panel fails to appear or moves monitors, random crashes after login, one desktop (monitor) appearing completely blank (though apps, mouse, etc. do work on it), etc. 
Often, attempting to add the default panel back on results in nothing happening, then after logoff and back on, panels may appear on top of each other or at random places on one of the monitors.

Fedora 22, x64.

The crash can be reproduced sometimes.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

This is crashing in your graphic driver which we can't do much about.

Please upgrade/downgrade your version of mesa. See information (including a workaround) in the linked report

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 349519 ***

Comment 2 Aled Hughes 2015-10-11 20:43:36 UTC

Thanks. OK, so the crash is down to the gfx driver - it doesn't happen all the time and is more of a recent thing, however Plasma desktop getting itself a bit confused especially with disappearing panels or panels appearing in the wrong place still shouldn't really happen. So I suspect there's something else going on too.
