Description Dashon 2024-04-03 06:47:16 UTC

SUMMARY
I currently have kwin crash about once a day. Any time kwin crashes all KDE apps survive which is great. However, I must restart those apps in order for there menus to be shown in the global menu which isn't so great. It kinda lessens the effectiveness of having the app survive if I need to restart it anyways.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a global menu widget in a panel somewhere.
2. Open a kde app that exports its menu.
3. Crash kwin somehow or restart it.

OBSERVED RESULT
App survives the compositor crash, but the app's menu no longer shows up in the global menu.

EXPECTED RESULT
The app's menu should still show up in the global menu.

This did not happen this time and I don't know if the compositor crash was the actual trigger or if the issue was resolved with the update to Qt 6.7, so I will close this until I find something more reproducible if at all.
