3. go to "Splash Screen" kcm
4. click on "Get new splash screens" button and immediately close the window

Comment 1 Alexander Lohnau 2020-07-17 19:19:25 UTC 
Instead I get the issue that it is crashing, like BUG 416328.

Hi Alexander
I can reproduce this issue only on Wayland (sometimes System Settings crashes as reported in bug 424334 instead). When I follow the steps provided here on X11, System Settings always crashes as reported in bug 424334.
Comment 3 Alexander Lohnau 2020-07-17 19:57:59 UTC 
Thanks for the additional info!

I followed your described steps on Wayland, but still get the same crash.
Comment 4 Thiago Sueto 2020-11-13 03:10:57 UTC 
This is not a Wayland-specific issue. I can reproduce this on X11 (master). It's not always reproducible, but it's more reproducible after the message "Loading data" of the Login screen GHNS appears, or after the window is fully loaded.

However if you close the Login screen window too fast with either mouse or keyboard  (before "Loading data" appears) and click the button of the Splash screen GHNS, it results in a crash, the backtrace seems similar to bug 416328.
Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2021-05-16 16:49:02 UTC 
All GHNS windows were already ported to new style and this problem no longer occurs. :)
Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2021-05-16 20:01:29 UTC 
Nevermind. I was able to reproduce on Arch Linux running Plasma 5.22 beta
repeating the provided steps 3 times. :(

Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2021-05-16 20:08:28 UTC 
Sorry, the steps were different, not the same.

1. open GHNS window of Task Swicher KCM and close it immediately
2. open GHNS window of Kwin Scripts KCM and closed it immediately
3. close System Settings
4. try to reopen System Settings: you can not because systemsettings5 process got stuck in the memory
