***
I have Ctrl+Shift+K set up to clear scrollback and reset.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Type <Ctrl>+<Shift>+k
3. Watch it crash

OBSERVED RESULT
Crash

EXPECTED RESULT
This used to work.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE 15.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I did see some strange behavior. When I logged in after the last update some of my konsole settings seem to have changed. The menu bar disappeared and the tabs moved from the bottom to the top.
I was able to fix this, however.

Comment 5 Aaron Williams 2023-03-25 19:53:31 UTC 
It looks like it's crashing here in session/SessionController.cpp:
994     void SessionController::updateCodecAction(QTextCodec *codec)
995     {
996         _codecAction->setCurrentCodec(QString::fromUtf8(codec->name()));
997     }
998
codec is NULL in gdb.

Note that I am seeing a crash in the same place when I attempt to switch my profile, no matter what profile I select. I can, however, create a new tab and duplicate a tab.
Changing the character encoding also causes a trap when I attempt to change from UTF-8 to default. Again, the crash is in the same place. I do not know enough about Konsole to know why the name appears to be NULL.
Comment 6 Aaron Williams 2023-03-25 20:15:25 UTC 
With some more digging it looks like it was due to the parent pointing to a non-existent profile in Shell.profile.
I was getting the following message when starting Konsole:
 
 org.kde.konsole.profile: Could not load profile from  "/home/aaronw/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/.profile"

After manually removing the parent line in Shell.profile it seems to have stopped crashing. It still may be a bug, though, since it should not crash. Probably since I have a lot of cruft going back well over a decade floating around my home directory.

Do not allow an invalid parent to be set in profiles

There are numerous crashes that come from this.
