crash log

Of course the window doesn't get closed. This is the result of releasing after 0 testing.

I suspected that the problem is that I'm not using Breeze window decorations (why does KDE support theming when nothing other than Breeze works???), so I tried to change decorations to Breeze, but (guess what?) Systemsettings crashes when opening the window decorations tab. <slow clap>

systemsettings crash

One more thing: right click on window title, More Actions, Window Manager Settings... doesn't do anything.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2018-07-21 14:57:03 UTC
Unfortunately the backtrace is lacking debug symbols. If you are able to reproduce please install debug packages and attach a new backtrace.

Don't do sarcastic comments in a development tracker.

You can restore your window settings by deleting ~/.config/kwinrc

I installed the debug packages for kwin and libkdecorations2, and now I can't reproduce the crash. It might be a packaging problem. I'm sorry for the tone, I got really frustrated when I saw everything crashing.
Comment 5 David Edmundson 2018-07-21 16:47:51 UTC
It's not a packaging problem, I think I've fixed the first problem.

Second crash of systemsettings is interesting, it's unrelated :/

I'm using Plastik. Its colored window border allows me to see more clearly which window is active than Breeze's shadows.
