Description Rylsm 2019-08-31 12:01:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
This is one of the most easily reproducible issue I have with KDE Plasma lately where the shell or even some application unrelated to KDE project like browsers and text editors to hang. I thought this is limited to Latte Dock (bugreport: (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411415) but after some more testing I saw this hang several time with other application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Folder View on the desktop
2. Create a new folder on the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma shell will hang but any other interactions are not affected like task switching, KRunner and interactivity with the currently running application.
Extra bonus, removing the newly created folder with Dolphin will cause Dolphin to hang and will recover after a minute or longer.

EXPECTED RESULT
Everything should work as expected
