Created attachment 111884 [details] plasmashell output I upgraded openSUSE Tumbleweed to Plasma 5.12.4 and I noticed the following: After login the desktop and panel hangs and it takes a few minutes before they become usable. I started plasmashell from a console and saw the following: org.kde.plasmaquick: Delayed preload of "Clipboard" after 4.4 seconds org.kde.plasmaquick: Applet "Clipboard" loaded after 170640 msec (The complete shell output is attached) Between those two lines there was a pause from about 3 minutes. After that Plasma continued to load. Click on the Clipboard Contents applet makes Plasma crash.
Can you get a gdb backtrace of it crashing, please?
(In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #1) > Can you get a gdb backtrace of it crashing, please? I did not do this before. When I have figured out how to do it, I can provide it.
Seems if something heavy is in klipper, it hangs! Last time I've worked with 100k rows table in LibreOffice. plasmashell hanged, and even reboot won't help. Situation changed after I removed /home/denixx/.local/share/klipper/ with all it's content. Maybe there should be timeout of klipper loading, and if it can't load in some reasonable time - clean the history and reload it.
Created attachment 112252 [details] This is with klipper hanging. Used this instruction twice: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=125034#p329742
Created attachment 112253 [details] This is after I've cleaned klipper history.
One small correction: for me it isn't crashing, it just hangs UI. Even if I try to do kbuildsycoca5 && kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell it will do nothing as plasmashell hangs and even can't exit. But it is terminatable (normal termination, NOT with KILL) from system monitor. After that if I run kstart5 plasmashell it hangs again.

Also, I can try to repeat work I've done with LibreOffice in attempt to triage content which breaks klipper. Please, inform me, if it's needed to be done.
This is probably related to [1]. Wiping the ~/.local/share/klipper folder resolves this for me as well. For me the plasmashell freezes when using Mathematica which creates large chunks (>10MB) of clipboard content. [1] https://askubuntu.com/q/1024071
If this is still reproducible for you, can you tell me if you have a huge amount of stuff in the clipboard?
Hi, Nate. Haven't seen this issue for too long, so it might be resolved already.
To be honest I use a customized config of Klipper. Usually, I disable its eagerness. I disable some things like grab mouse selections and maybe some other stuff to make Klipper more lightweight and react only on my direct actions to copy-paste something.
Let's call it fixed. :)
I encountered no problems with klipper for a long time. So for me it is fixed. Don't no how klipper handles large chunks of clipboard data nowadays (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392825#c9)
