SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. (Use as a virtual machine guest required?)
1. Log in with X11 (not Wayland)
2. Open application menu and type and 3 letters. One or two is fine, but three always freezes
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
System freezes for an indeterminate period. Even Ctrl+Alt+3 doesn't respond. Doesn't feel like two minutes, but probably is based on this error from `journalctl -xe`:

It seems to occur whenever the freeze occurs.

`[session uid=1000 pid=2460] Failed to activate service 'org.kde.runners.baloo': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)`

also seen once:

`[session uid=1000 pid=2460] Failed to activate service 'org.kde.krunner': timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)`

EXPECTED RESULT

Application searches don't freeze the system.
