Sounds like plasmashell is crashing. Can you get a backtrace of the crash? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

Hi, seems like it doesn't happen anymore, maybe one of the KDE updates fixed it.

It's likely to be caused by a hidden bug in task manager model.

I can't get plasmashell to crash again in order to get the gdb backtrace, since it's working with no issues. All is good now. Thanks.
