SUMMARY Plasma crashes sometimes when I try to set a new widget, like the Memory Usage widget. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make a Memory Usage widget on a panel 2. If it was my computer, it has already crashed and when I try again it works. real 2. right click the sensor and click Configure system monitor sensor... now configure it and change it a bit, like the type of sensor from pie to horizontal or something 3. Crash! My top panel (my only panel) disappears and Firefox acts normal until like 5-10 seconds later when it appears back, normal. Dr Konqi appears and says something crashed unexpectedly. OBSERVED RESULT Crashes and panels disappear for 5-10 seconds. EXPECTED RESULT Well I expect it to not crash (not sure if its my pc but plasma shouldn't be this buggy). I like KDE and I think it's very cool and I don't actually think its this buggy but yeah i'm not sure SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: we don't do that here macOS: nor do we do macos Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Kubuntu 5.11.0-37-generic (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Also note that you are using an older version of Plasma, and this issue may have been fixed in Plasma 5.22 or 5.23 (which is due to be released in a week). So it might also be good to upgrade and see if it might already be fixed.
