STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open kicker/kickoff
2. right click on any app, select "Edit application..."
3. select "Permissions" tab, click "Advanced permissions" button

EXPECTED RESULT
plasma does not freeze

Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2019-09-20 13:30:18 UTC 
This bug only occurs if "Advanced permissions" window is started via kickoff/kicker/dashboard.
Plasma does not freeze if the same window is started via Dolphin.
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-09-20 13:32:26 UTC 
It doesn't technically freeze, the dialog is modal and does an exec(), though, effectively halting event handling for everything else.
