Description Jeremy 2021-10-07 18:05:59 UTC

SUMMARY
Plasma crashes sometimes when I try to set a new widget, like the Memory Usage widget.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a Memory Usage widget on a panel
2. If it was my computer, it has already crashed and when I try again it works.
real 2. right click the sensor and click Configure system monitor sensor... now configure it and change it a bit, like the type of sensor from pie to horizontal or something
3. Crash! My top panel (my only panel) disappears and Firefox acts normal until like 5-10 seconds later when it appears back, normal. Dr Konqi appears and says something crashed unexpectedly.

OBSERVED RESULT
Crashes and panels disappear for 5-10 seconds.

EXPECTED RESULT
Well I expect it to not crash (not sure if its my pc but plasma shouldn't be this buggy). I like KDE and I think it's very cool and I don't actually think its this buggy but yeah i'm not sure

macOS: nor do we do macos

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Also note that you are using an older version of Plasma, and this issue may have been fixed in Plasma 5.22 or 5.23 (which is due to be released in a week). So it might also be good to upgrade and see if it might already be fixed.
