I recently migrated from Gnome to KDE. I am running KDE Plasma 5.7.2 on Arch Linux. I am having an annoying problem: The KDE KickOff application launcher sometimes crashes while I am typing to search for an application by its name. It first freezes, then the entire panel vanishes, then the panel returns to the desktop. I only have one widget. I removed it, but the problem did not go away. I have also disabled "Expand search to bookmarks, files and emails" under Application Launcher Settings. The problem persists. Removing the panel and creating a new one did not help either. I am using the standard Breeze theme. After struggling with this issue for a while, yesterday I changed the menu style to "Application Dashboard". My notebook has an Intel integrated graphics card and I am not using proprietary drivers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select "Application Launcher" under KickOff -> Alternatives. 2. Start the KickOff menu. 3. Type text to search for matching applications, Actual Results: Oftentimes (not always) the kickoff freezes and then the panel is restarted. Expected Results: We should be able to type text with no freezes or crashes. Matching applications should be displayed. Hardware: Dell XPS 13, model 9343, Intel GPU.
The only two desktop effects I activated were: (i) Desktop cube and (ii) Magic lamp. I disabled them and the crashes did not go away. This is what I have in Compositor (enabled on startup): Animation speed: medium, Scale method: Accurate, Rendering backend: OpenGL 2.0, OpenGL interface: GLX, Tearing prevention ("vsync"): Automatic, Keep window thumbnails: Only for Shown Windows.
So plasmashell crashes. Please include a backtrace. You should be seeing a window when plasmashell crashes, but you can force this manually by doing the following steps: open a terminal type kquitapp5 plasmashell gdb plasmashell recreate the crash then type "bt" in the terminal window then attach that information here and reopen the bug. Till then we can't do anything, sorry.
I typed "kquitapp5 plasmashell" in a terminal window. Plasmashell was killed. I then typed "gdb plasmashell" in the same terminal window. I could see the (gdb) prompt in that terminal window, but plasmashell was not back. I am new to KDE and I may be missing something. Directions are greatly appreciated.
Created attachment 100271 [details] Backtrace I started gdb and typed "run plasmashell". I am attaching the output. Is that helpful?

Is there any additional information I need to provide?
The problem remains in Plasma 5.7.3.

I found a way for the KDE developers to reproduce this bug. Using the Application Launcher (not the Application Menu nor the Application Dashboard), go to the menu: -> Applications tab -> Internet. Then, find Chromium, right-click on its icon, select "Edit Application...", go to the Application tab and find the "Command" field. There we read chromium %U append the following to that command: --force-device-scale-factor=1.1 . The command then becomes chromium %U --force-device-scale-factor=1.1 Now, click on the Application Launcher menu and type to search fast. Type several names and backspace to return. For instance, type displaycal followed by several backspaces telegram followed by several backspaces colord-kde followed by several backspaces etc. At some point there will be a Plasma crash.
