Sentry Crash Report:

Description diego 2018-07-14 14:38:33 UTC 
Application: kwin_x11 (5.8.9)

Qt Version: 5.6.1
Frameworks Version: 5.36.0
Operating System: Linux 4.15.0-24-generic x86_64
Distribution: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia

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

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
Lately KDE hasn't been working fine. I had to switch off Bliss because some applications' menus weren't working (i.e. KTorrent, Amarok...); even after that Firefox menus on the top-right aren't working, and the security status button on the left of the address bar isn't showing the usual window; also, gksu/gksudo now just seems to freeze X until I press Esc.

- Custom settings of the application:
Due to the aforementioned bugs I changed a bunch of themes all at once. That's when I started noticing KWin crashes.
Also, I have KDE set up to start Firefox on login.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin_x11), signal: Segmentation fault

Unfortunately the backtrace is lacking debug symbols. If you are able to reproduce please install debug packages and attach a new backtrace.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2018-07-14 17:02:16 UTC 
We don't need any more symbols.

The only place we're missing symbols we know to definitely be this line based on the surrounding context

src/aurorae.cpp:    m_item = qobject_cast< QQuickItem* >(component->create(context));
