Created attachment 115358 [details] Journalctl -f snippets SUMMARY Plasma intermittently freezes when switching between activities STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create at least one additional activity if one does not exist 2. Attempt to switch between them OBSERVED RESULT Plasma hangs, anywhere from ~.5s to ~5-10s EXPECTED RESULT Activities switcher should close after selecting new activity, or a reasonable length of time after stopping walking through activities. SOFTWARE VERSIONS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Log attached
More `journalctl -f` logs as before, with a couple extra with the system under slightly heavier load. Seemed to throw a few other errors as well, which makes me think the variation in amount of time the issue takes to resolve itself is related to that. https://gist.github.com/KodiakIT/a205b19cdafa8c6a4a57ac397f96e2fc
stderr rarely indicates anything. A perf log or a callgrind during the time will be the only useful thing.

How exactly would I go about finding/generating these logs? This issue is fairly irritating, consistent, and easily reproducible so I'd be more than happy to provide them, if I knew precisely how.
First things first, lets define what "plasma hangs" means. When it's hanging: Can you move the mouse? Can you move windows? Can you right click on the desktop and get a menu?

Yes, yes, and no (at least not right away). I can interact with other applications like yakuake and my browser just fine, as well as switch virtual desktops via keybinds with Kwin, but not when using the desktop pager in the panel. Disabling file indexing as a user in the KDE IRC channel suggested seems to mitigate the issue, so perhaps I've chosen the wrong component to attach this to? However that said I only noticed this occurring when switching activities, so I'll defer to your judgement on that.

More information was provided with comment #5. Changing status for inspection.
A lot has changed since this bug was filed. Is it still reproducible for you in Plasma 5.24 (the latest LTS version) or 5.25 (the latest version, period)?
