Bug 426695

Application: plasmashell (5.19.5)

Qt Version: 5.15.1
Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Operating System: Linux 5.8.9-arch2-1 x86_64
Windowing system: X11
Distribution: "Arch Linux"

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

I was trying to get the network speed widget to display text and selected "Particles Vortex" from the drop down menu in 'Display Styles". After hitting apply the line chart that I had dissapeared and nothing else loaded. After a few minutes the system came to a halt. I was ablt to open htop and watched plasmashell slowly consume all available memory (32gb) along with all available swap (also 32gb). Killing plasmashell causes it to release the memory. 

- Unusual behavior I noticed: All memory consumed. Happens right after login since the widget is loading at startup.

- Custom settings of the application: Selected Particle Vortex as the widget display style.

Happy to provide screen shots or any addi

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Segmentation fault
