Comment 1 2wxsy58236r3 2019-08-10 04:09:23 UTC
I can confirm this bug on Arch Linux with Intel iGPU.

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug (in my case):
1. Create /tmp/bar_dir
2. Copy 100+ jpg files (around 1 MB per file) from HDD to /tmp/bar_dir
3. Create /tmp/bar_dir/foo_dir
4. Copy 80+ jpg files from /tmp/bar_dir to /tmp/bar_dir/foo_dir
5. Delete /tmp/bar_dir

It seems that during Steps 1-4, Dolphin does not hang. But when deleting the directory, Dolphin freezes.

If you can reproduce the freeze, please try to follow the steps in

https://community.kde.org/Dolphin/FAQ/Freeze

and provide a backtrace. Thanks for your help.

Dolphin backtrace

I noticed that there were 2000+ lines of "QXcbClipboard: SelectionRequest too old" when Dolphin freezed.

Comment 5 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-08-12 06:52:45 UTC
So it looks like plasmashell is getting overwhelmed with job tracker requests resulting in Dolphin waiting forever on KUiServerJobTracker::registerJob to finish.
Comment 6 Moritz 2019-08-12 18:52:55 UTC
I'd like ti add an stack, but I am on vacation.
Comment 7 Moritz 2019-10-15 16:17:50 UTC
So. Just to complete it, I also made another report:
https://hastebin.com/situqopami.shell

It is just a part of it but It looks like waiting. Confirmed with 5.17
Comment 8 Moritz 2022-03-30 09:53:28 UTC
Acutally I can reproduce this really well and it is really annoying. Some things I have notices over the time:

 - It is not specific to dolphin, the whole plasma ui hangs (including all applications, so it migth be a kwin or frameworks problem). 
 - I can create a high disk usage with any tool or just force plasma and all its components to not be able to have a high throughpoint
 - Prefectly recreateable with a really slow virtual machine

A general thing is: the lower the io, the more it hangs. If I (e.g. start kde neon via pxe) and remove/stop the nfs server, the whole ui hangs completely until the server is back up again.
