Bug 491946

I don't have YouTube Music premium, but I can play that song at that URL. On current git master, it doesn't do anything particularly strange to plasmashell for me.

I do have Youtube Premium, but I also can't reproduce the issue on master, the media player widget works fine.

Please run 

kill -SIGABRT `pidof plasmashell`

to trigger a crash and obtain a trace. It should help shed some light on what it is stuck on

.

Output of `journalctl -f /usr/bin/plasmashell` starting from the point where I cause plasmashell to hang by using the song.

```

I then called `kill -SIGABRT 2222` (pid of plasmashell process that was hanging) and it output this:

```

I'm a Rust dev so not familar with c++/kde dev so I'm working on trying to figure out how to get a proper stack trace (looking at this now https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Debugging), thought this might be useful to someone though so posting it.

Is there an easy way for me to test against master? If that works for me then I guess we could assume it's fixed and just wait for a new release. Or if someone else could confirm it didn't work for them on the currently released versions but does on master.

When running through plasmawindowed with gdb attached I've been unable to replicate the issue. I noticed when using plasmawindowed the next/previous buttons are grayed out and they aren't grayed out when running as a taskbar widget.

Looking into if I can attach gdb to the running plasmashell of the taskbar to get a trace that way.

gdb and journalctl logs while causing hang and then aborting the process

Okay was able to get a trace by attaching gdb to the running plasmashell process. I followed the guide under "Attach gdb to the plasmashell process" here: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Debugging

Lmk if there's anything else that would help.

Rather odd bug.

- standard panel
- put mediacontroller right of taskmanager and left of systray
- play https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0d3zNikhvA&si=8y3Wig-6FF1pw9PI in firefox
- restart plasma
- 9/10 it will hang

What happens is that there appears to be a layout loop somewhere that keeps triggering the compactRepresentation's Layout.preferredWidth bindings to change. Seems somehow related to the Binding on layoutForm.

my taskbar layout

Oh interesting, I didn't think about it being caused by the position of the widget on the taskbar. I have it on the far left and have the taskbar on the top. I use spacers to center the "Icons only task manager". Attached a screenshot of my layout. With this layout, for me it happens every time I play that song.

applets/mediacontroller: fix text layout in compact representation

When a Label with Layout.fillWidth: true and horizontalAlignment:
Text.AlignJustify inside a Layout, the text doesn't look good when the
available width is larger than the total width of all characters.
