Description KMAN 2016-10-31 16:08:41 UTC 
Loss of a wired or wireless connection results in plasma-nm popping up a totally blank notifier. Plasma is then useless but hogging all cpu time. Other applications that were open at the time continue to run normally  if you switch to them with Alt-Tab.

Using:
Linux MINT18 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

KDE Frameworks 5.23.0

Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)

To reproduce the behaviour:
Boot up with wired or wireless connection to router/hub.
Turn off or unplug the router/hub.
Observe blank notifier and frozen screen.
Login on a tty screen and note cpu usage is 90-100% by plasma.

Is this issue still reproducible with Plasma 5.8 and latest frameworks?
Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2017-03-22 11:10:44 UTC 
Cannot reproduce. Given the issue was reported for old version and many things has changed since then I'm closing now this bug. Re-open it please if you still have this problem with latest Plasma release.
