Crash log. Looks like I'm missing some debug symbols. I couldn't install them.

I can't reproduce the issue as depicted, and unfortunately the backtrace is useless without those debug symbols. https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl may help with getting a better backtrace. Can you try that? Thanks!

I can't reproduce the issue today. I guess either something got messed up while I was messing with  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486568 and it was resolved after the reboot (although I did reboot couple of times yesterday while trying to install debug symbols and could always repro the issue) or the latest system update resolved the issue. Either way, I think we can close this as NOT A BUG since neither can repro it.

As for installing the debug symbols, I just can't do it.
- Exported DEBUGINFOD_URLS="https://debuginfod.archlinux.org" as an environment variable per the Archlinux guide
- Installed debuginfod package
- Used the "Install Debug Symbols" though Dr Konqi
    - I'm not sure if it crashes, but I just run out of my grand 8GB of RAM and system freezes. I uploaded SS for this.
- Tried using the gdb using the link you provided and it worked for the kcalc example, but when I tried to report it on a real crash (Draging the file in Dolphin over the location bar - that's already reported). Dolphin freezes like it's mentioned in the guide, but I can't use gdb anymore and again run out of RAM
