The bug is confirmed for me, Plasma desktop crashes when using Right click (on Panel) > Add Widget command
Can you attach a backtrace of the crash please? I can't reproduce the issue myself, so the bug report isn't actionable unless we can see a backtrace of the crash so we can try to figure out what happened.
Created attachment 151611 [details] Screen shot of my desktop after the crash I add also a screenshot after the crash. The strange thing is that I can still run programs, save or add files, etc. It seems that only Plasma desktop crashes. I do not know which other tests I could perform in order to help you.

Created attachment 151619 [details] Result of coredump cmd Hi, I followed the instructions and retrieved the attached infos. Hope they are useful. If other tests are needed, please tell me.
Thanks, that's helpful. Based on my reading of the backtrace, it looks like this has already been fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2039 which will be in Plasma 5.26.
