Description Nate Graham 2025-05-21 14:01:19 UTC 
When a UI spawned by plasmashell is or opens a modal dialog window, all of plasmashell freezes until the window is closed.

This is technically correct and intentional, but offers an unexpected and poor UX.

This metabug collects child bug reports about the issue happening so they can all be found in one place.
