Description Matt M (gardotd426) 2020-08-29 03:39:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using two monitors, after creating a second dock, and moving it to the second monitor, it's impossible to toggle on "Advanced Settings." Every attempt results in a crash of Plasma. DrKonqi doesn't trigger, no error messages, nothing, Plasma just exits. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Latte Dock on Primary monitor.  
2. Right-click dock, select "Edit Dock." 
3. At the bottom, select "+ New Dock"
4. Move new dock to second monitor
5. Right-click on second dock, select "Edit Dock."
6. Toggle on "Advanced Settings."


OBSERVED RESULT
You will see the settings window pop up as if it's going to expand into advanced settings, only the bottom half is a transparent window (you can still see the edges if you have shadows or any desktop effects), followed by a full crash of latte (all docks will close and latte has to be launched again manually)>

I've tried rebooting, I tried moving the dock BACK to the first monitor, and trying to toggle advanced settings on from there, nothing works. I've attached a video.

I have indeed found a workaround, which is to toggle Advanced Settings on BEFORE moving it to the second monitor. That's the only way to get it to work, as once you move it, you can't even move it back without it crashing. 

It's also hard to even get to this point, because Latte constantly crashes when more than one dock is running, it's pretty unstable at least on the master branch.

Tested on both Arch Linux and Manjaro, kwin vanilla and kwin-lowlatency. Numerous kernels. Video attached. 

EXPECTED RESULT

Sorry I've had some hardware issues that necessitated both a reinstall and temporary use of a single monitor, I should hopefully have my second monitor setup back up and running today. Will report back.
