Description Edward Kigwana 2018-03-10 01:37:44 UTC 
QT 5.10.1
Plasma 5.12.80 (master)

Plasma shell crashes when I right click to change desktop from folder view to desktop view. I have a dual monitor setup and a possibly unrelated issue is that when I click apply, the dialog on the right side jumps to the left monitor then plasma crashes. On the left it jumps to the right then plasma shell crashes. So there is some symmetry after a crash.

Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2018-03-12 12:46:25 UTC 
crash reproducible on Arch Linux when I change desktop layout to desktop or folder.
plasma is not automatically restarted, I get a black screen and need to restart plasma manually.

Comment 5 Rik Mills 2018-04-07 21:51:45 UTC 
So from thet duplicate, we can add that this occurs in:

Application: plasmashell (5.12.4)
Qt Version: 5.10.0
Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Operating System: Linux 4.4.120-45-default x86_64
Distribution: "openSUSE Leap 42.3"
Comment 6 David Edmundson 2018-04-09 08:13:50 UTC 
Writing the top backtrace out in words:

frame 9: containment(an applet subclass) gets deleted
frame 8: that deletes it's qobject children
frame 6: that deletes it's ContainmentInterface (the QML exposed containment side)
frame 3: that accesses the applet, which we delete in frame 9

Can do a simple QPointer guard, but that's just masking a more significant problem.


This crash shouldn't happen because:
Applet::~Applet should run between frames 9 and 8, AppletPrivate::~Private runs delete script, delete script *should* delete the ContainmentInterface.

So that means someone somewhere is calling containmentInterface->setParent(theContainment)
Find that and we find our crash.
Comment 7 David Edmundson 2018-04-09 08:33:38 UTC 
src/plasmaquick/containmentview.cpp:             oldGraphicObject->setParent(containment);

exactly what I said it would be, and run when you switched from desktop to folder view
Will replace with something else

Comment 9 David Edmundson 2018-04-10 13:39:03 UTC 
Git commit 2785916d01b26f5e9747bdf38428adce0a121842 by David Edmundson.
Committed on 10/04/2018 at 13:38.
Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'.

Don't alter memory management to hide an item

Summary:
The original owner of a graphics item is the declarative applet script which
is owned and deleted by the applet.

Reparenting the containmentquickitem to the containment doesn't really
solve anything useful, we were originally effectively owned by the
containment(an applet subclass) not the view anyway.

This code also accidentally moves the destruction of the applet from being in
::~Applet to being in ::~QObject of the relevant containment. This
causes a big problem if the AppletQuickItem tries to access the applet
in it's own destructor. The applet object still exists, but use of
Applet member variables is not valid.

The new preloading code does this, leading to a crash.

Test Plan:
Changed desktop to folder twice
Changed activities twice

After getting quite a few reports in rapid succession, we have not gotten any duplicates following a potential fix via code change. Is anyone still experiencing this? I am not.

Frameworks:  5.78.0
Plasmashell: 5.20.80

I don't have this issue anymore.
