SUMMARY Dragging a tab from Firefox to a different monitor seems to be broken on Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a dual monitor setup on Wayland 2. Drag a tab to a different screen OBSERVED RESULT Screen turns black, tab returns to old Firefox window. It crashed, maybe when I dragged the tab, but waited some time before I released it. EXPECTED RESULT Obvious.

X or wayland
Thanks for looking into this. The description should contain the required information ;)
Just tested with a non maximized Firefox window. Just drag a tab on the empty space (desktop) and move it there a bit without releasing. It gets laggy and crashes then.
So this might also happen on a single monitor setup.
>So this might also happen on a single monitor setup. Can't reproduce on a single monitor setup dragging over the background. Which could mean it's fixed. There was a drag and drop fix for xwayland with similar symptoms a while back. Tested with both firefox on X (in my wayland session) and firefox on wayland. Without being able to reproduce, with a non-master kwin and no backtrace I'm not sure what else we can practically do. If we get a backtrace or some more specific new steps to reproduce or something please do reopen. Plasma 5.20 beta is coming out soon so please do test there then as well.
Thanks for trying to reproduce. This might indeed have the same cause as the other drag and drop issue you mentioned. I will test on a compiled session from master and report back.
Claudius, if you changed the resolution to FIXED intentionally, then also please set the status to RESOLVED, otherwise the Bug Janitor will nag about this every fortnight.
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #7) > Claudius, if you changed the resolution to FIXED intentionally, then also > please set the status to RESOLVED, otherwise the Bug Janitor will nag about > this every fortnight. Sorry. I did not intend to change the bug status and have also been confused before why it had that state. I don't remember changing the status actively, but it seems it was set when I wrote the previous comment.
Sorry, took me some time to get around and compile an up to date session from master to test on. Unfortunately I could still reproduce this error there. However, when I tried it there the second time, it did not crash entirely. Firefox did still run, however the panel disappeared and the background turned black. In this state it was possible to drag and drop Firefox tabs without a crash.
After thinking this might be an OOM issue I tested again, since I happened to upgrade my RAM. Before with 4 GB it crashed and also afterwards with 12 GB it crashes.
I also tested this with a single monitor VM with KDE Neon unstable with updated builds from the 17.10.2020. I could easily reproduce it there.
Changing component, since this is unrelated to multi-screen setups, also updating the version where it happens.
Created attachment 133176 [details] Backtrace Adding a backtrace here as well, hopefully the way I captured it was correct.
Created attachment 133210 [details] Backtrace of session compiled from git master The other backtrace was from a session with Plasma 5.20.2. I created a new one from a session compiled from git master where the problem also happens.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwayland-server/-/merge_requests/131
Is there any chance that you could test it ^^^ ?
Should be possible. I will try tomorrow! Thanks for the fast reaction to the backtrace.

Store drag-and-drop focus resource using QPointer We need to clean up the target data device if it has been destroyed in the middle of a drag and drop. Weston does a similar thing.

Just tested. It now does not crash the session entirely, but only some parts (I guess plasma?). Firefox is still open, but the background turns black and the panel disappears. I will try to generate a new backtrace for that. Shell we track that in a new bug?
I created https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428977, I hope you can follow up there :)
I don't know whether this is just a coincidence (tested only once) but on 5.20.3 only plasmashell seems to crash and I am not thrown back to the login screen. The fix however does only seem to be targeted at 5.21 and not be included in 5.20.3.
Tested a second time and still cannot reproduce the complete crash on 5.20.3.
