Twice in the last two days the system has completely frozen while I was resizing a window.  The first time I was resizing a Konsole window.  The second time I was resizing a Firefox window.

Both times the system was completely frozen and to recover I had to reset by holding the power button for 5 seconds.

This is on X11 or Wayland?
Comment 2 Ralph Birt 2018-01-31 05:08:10 UTC 
This is on X11.
Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2018-01-31 05:22:26 UTC 
Is the mouse cursor still moving when the system is frozen.
Comment 4 Ralph Birt 2018-01-31 05:48:43 UTC 
No, the mouse cursor is frozen too.
Comment 5 Martin Flöser 2018-01-31 17:20:36 UTC 
In that case: it's not KWin. The mouse cursor is provided by X and this means that X is frozen. You need to report to X developers.

Btw. it's quite likely that X is also a victim. As you mention Konsole it is possible that this is a graphics driver issue.

Okay, thanks Martin.
