Description yizel7 2023-01-01 00:11:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
Lately when I update or install a flatpak my entire Plasma session becomes unresponsive until it is completed. This may take a couple seconds for something small or a minute or two when it is big flatpak runtime like nvidia drivers. During this time I can only move my mouse cursor around but cannot click on anything.

I have a beefy machine so I do not think it is performance related. My guess is some kind of locking is happening.

I do not think this is a Discover bug because it happens whether I am updating in Discover or installing via Konsole like flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update or install a flatpak 

OBSERVED RESULT
The entire Plasma sessions becomes unresponsive until the install or update is complete.

EXPECTED RESULT
No impact to performance

On my Arch Linux Plasma becomes unresponsive even when I install updates with pacman. I have even created a topic in Arch forum regarding this problem 2.5 months ago:

Interesting. I only have Plasma hangs/unresponsiveness when using flatpak commands. I used pacman a couple times this past week and there were no impacts at those times. Even when I did dkms related changes with nvidia drivers or linux kernel changes.
