SUMMARY KWin keeps crashing on my platform with signal 6. (stack below), this happens like 0 to 5 times a day. I noticed nothing particular about the activities at the time of the crash. For me it's usually while using chrome, but this is what I usually use. I noticed one more thing related to the compositor, hope this helps. If the system is newly turned on I can observe tearing in chrome while scrolling. My settings: scale: smooth, latency: "prefer smoother animations", vsync: automatic. If I change latency to whatever tearing goes away, but bringing back the previous setting does not cause tearing. Looks like jiggling settings always helps.

The crash is happening inside the Intel graphics driver. It's hard to tell more without debug symbols though

The backtrace lacks debug symbols. Can you install kwin debug package and provide us a new backtrace that include debug symbols?
Hey guys, I have not seen this error for months now. I think the ticket can be closed.
Thanks for the update
