SUMMARY
Panel option for "Show Panel Configuration" freezes the panel and stops panel related activities. System stays online and workable.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot up computer.
2. Right click on panel and select "Show Panel Configuration"
3. Panel then freezes and icons on the panel become mis-ordered. No amount of hitting ESC or right clicking allows the user to get out of the freeze.

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel was frozen and no customization was able to be done.

EXPECTED RESULT
The configuration GUI should've allowed me to customize the panel.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I used "killall -9 plasmashell" to reset plasma and everything started working properly. The attached log file is from when I ran "journalctl --user -u plasma-plasmashell --since "1 hour ago" > plasma_crash.log"

Comment 1 Akseli Lahtinen 2026-02-02 09:13:25 UTC

I am unable to reproduce this.

Do you have any third party widgets downloaded from internet? 

Also, can you share the panel settings? These are both in 
`~/.config/plasmashellrc` and `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc`

Lastly, can you share the output of command `kinfo` in here?

Thanks.
