Created attachment 156655 [details] Includes all debug symbols, generated by DrKonqi SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go into Settings -> Appearence 2. Click on Window Decorations 3. Select any window decoration 4. Click Apply 5. Crash happens (but new window decoration has been applied after kwin has crashed and restarted). OBSERVED RESULT Crashing (entire KDE restarts itself). It did not crash on a clean KDE installation at first. It started crashing now after I installed many new window decorations from within KDE (by clicking Get New Window Decorations button and installing them). EXPECTED RESULT Should not crash and apply window decoration. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.12-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 47.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue suddenly started happening. You wont be able to produce it on a clean KDE installation of course, so its complicated to find. But I can produce it reliably - it crashes every time i Apply a window decoration and sometimes even when i close the settings window. I will try to clean out themes and revert any changes i did to try and see what is causing this crash.
I have done more research that i think can really help solve this bug. IMPORTANT: The TLDR version is: the bug is NOT in kwin 5.27.0 AND it occurs in a clean KDE installation with default settings. This will make it a lot easier to fix. More details below how I came to this conclusion: I suspected this bug wasnt in earlier versions of kwin since it started just after the upgrade to 5.27.1. So i wanted to verify my theory. First I removed all installed global system themes, window decorations, plasma styles, colors - literally everything i had installed. The only remaining stuff was KDE default stuff. Then I removed my entire KDE installation and deleted all KDE config files using this script: ------------------------ #!/usr/bin/fish set fileList Trolltech.conf akregatorrc baloofilerc bluedevilglobalrc kactivitymanagerd-statsrc set -a fileList kactivitymanagerdrc kactivitymanagerd-pluginsrc kateschemarc kcmfonts kcminputrc kconf_updaterc kded5rc set -a fileList kdeglobals kfontinstuirc kglobalshortcutsrc khotkeysrc kmixctrlrc kmixrc set -a fileList kscreenlockerrc ksmserverrc ksplashrc ktimezonedrc kwinrc kwinrulesrc plasma-localerc set -a fileList plasma-nm plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc plasmarc plasmashellrc set -a fileList powermanagementprofilesrc startupconfig startupconfigfiles startupconfigkeys set -a fileList krunnerrc touchpadxlibinputrc systemsettingsrc kxkbrc PlasmaUserFeedback set -a fileList kde.org/* kiorc klipperrc knfsshare kuriikwsfilterrc kwalletmanager5rc kwalletrc set -a fileList plasma.emojierrc plasmanotifyrc PlasmaUserFeedback powerdevilrc kgammarc set -a fileList kded_device_automounterrc device_automounter_kcmrc klaunchrc set -a fileList trashrc kactivitymanagerd-switcher gtkrc-2.0 gtkrc baloofileinformationrc set -a fileList breezerc rm $fileList ------------------------ The bug still occured when switching between the default window decorations. So finally i downgraded kwin to 5.27.0 - and the crashes stopped! I cannot make it crash on kwin 5.27.0 anymore. Switching back to 5.27.1 makes the crashes start again, with no other changes being made. This means the bug was introduced in the last weeks update to 5.27.1. This should make it easier to find. Its somewhere in the kwin changes 5.27.0 => 5.27.1.
Can reproduce when switching from one Aurorae theme to another one.

Can reproduce on Wayland with my setup, but cannot reproduce on X11.
