KrashDE Bug Log
---------------

OS Info - Arch Linux Latest
---------------------------

Display protocol - X11
----------------------

Wayland does not work at all, will launch in a very low resolution displaying only a cursor, tried with Ryzen 5 1600x and 3 different GPUs, 1050, 1650, A4000, same result on all, running the latest proprietary NVIDIA package from the official mirrors

Changing an icon of any .desktop will make the icon disappear, to fix run: 
plasmashell --replace </dev/null &>/dev/null & disown

Moving icons on desktop will sometimes move them to previous position before your eyes

Icons that change depending on the state, like Trash can will disappear when you fill them with trash (because the icon changed)

Animations inconsistantm, sometimes missing (one example is minimizing a window)

Showing the desktop with a shortcut CTRL+d will first show all windows and then on the second click maybe minimize them

Alt-Tab is extremely slow when holding it to show preview, should be instant like in every single DE in existance

When changing an icon of a folder (one specific folder), KDE will destroy every other folder on the system and give it what I can understand a missing icon. Do not change folder icons, I had to wipe the whole OS to fix it.

Pressing the windows (meta) button should activate the KDE menu, sometimes it will decide not to, it is unpredictable and I have no fix for it.

Would be nice to be able to right click on something and be able to send to desktop as link (shortcut)

Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately it reports multiple distinct issues, which will make it not actionable. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket for more explanation.
Can I ask you to submit a new bug report for each specific issue? Thanks again!
