This could be a duplicate of #351897, but it seems to be just a similar bug. When performing slow file operations, the plasma panel (and so the system) becomes completely frozen and unresponsive. How to reproduce: 1. Create a network share somewhere 2. Mount that share over a slow network 3. Open dolphin, try to copy a local file to that mount (sometimes just browsing the mount is enough) 4. Plasma is now frozen until the copy/file operation is done (it could take minutes) What I would except to happen: I would expect plasma to stay functional regardless of running background operations
