Description Maât 2017-01-10 10:11:38 UTC 
Hello,

On last version of Plasma 5 i meet a strange problem: the tasks and icon bars in the bottom of the desktop freezes.

-> Then no click seems to be possible on the bar and no right click on the wallpaper seems to be possible.

ALT+F2 still works to launch programs... ALT+TAB still allows to switch between running programs. Click on visible windows is also still possible and the windows clicked get the focus, come on top of the others and the program works.

ALT+TAB+FX to get to text mode screen + ALT+TAB+FY to get back to graphical mode unfreezes (for me) the bar... till the next freeze. The Time-To-Freeze can get down to one freeze per ten minutes.

There is a bug filled in mageia bug tracker for that : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20030

If you need more information please ask

Regards,
Maât
