In the top-left corner I have both the 'Show windows from all desktops' hot-corner, and the Kickoff application launcher. Regularly when I move the mouse to the top-left corner I overshoot which seems to trigger the 'show all windows' function (i.e. I get the blue glow for a short time), but instead of getting all windows I get a kwin_x11 crash dialog. This is not systematic (unlike the crash caused by turning on the screen, see bug 363545), but still happens multiple times per day. It also looks very much a plasmashell crash (the background becomes black, the KDE dock disappears) and not like the kwin_x11 crashes that I sometimes get (a couple times a week) where I still have the KDE dock but the windows lose their decorations and where I have to manually restart kwin_x11. Yet the backtrace says that it is KWin that crashed so I guess it must be. I am moving the hot-corner to the bottom-left so I'll see if the issue persists. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. You might have to make the corner where the Kickoff menu is located be a hot corner that activates the 'show all windows' function. Whether that's needed remains to be determined. 2. Jam the mouse into that corner. Actual Results: I got a crash dialog. Expected Results: KDE should have shown the windows from all desktops. Here is the kwin_x11 backtrace: Application: KWin (kwin_x11), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
