Description Hugo Klepsch 2016-11-02 15:53:27 UTC
Application: kwin_x11 (5.8.2)

Qt Version: 5.7.0
Frameworks Version: 5.27.0
Operating System: Linux 4.8.6-1-ARCH x86_64
Distribution: "Arch Linux"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
This bug has happened to me >10 times, usually ~1 a day. When it happens, it is always when I am opening a new window of some kind (ie, a gnome-terminal window, or a libreoffice document)
It does not always occur when opening a new window. When it crashes, I see my desktop wallpaper for a split second then kwin reopens with all windows (including new one) present. 

- Unusual behavior I noticed:
When kwin reopens, it seems it doesn't know where it had focus. Alt-tabbing and selecting windows with the mouse works strangely until I select a window explicitely. 
After it crashes if I had a workspace with a fullscreen youtube video then the browser must be restarted as I cannot un-fullscreen the video afterwards.

The crash can be reproduced sometimes.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KWin (kwin_x11), signal: Segmentation fault

As a workaround use breeze window decoration.
