Description Pierre Racz 2023-03-02 18:35:44 UTC
Application: systemsettings (5.25.5)

Qt Version: 5.15.6
Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Operating System: Linux 5.19.0-35-generic x86_64
Windowing System: X11
Distribution: Ubuntu 22.10
DrKonqi: 5.25.5 [KCrashBackend]

-- Information about the crash:
When a "Dell Thunderbolt Docking Station (WD22TB4)" is plugged into the USB-C port of my laptop (HP_Spectre_x360_Convertible_13-aw2xxx),
the system's setting application crashes.

Actually other system applications, such as the "info center" also crash repeatably.

The Docking Station is plugged into an ATEN-CS17916 KVM Switch.
The USB Peripherals are
* Dell Keyboard
* Dell Mouse

The HDMI display is an "ASUS VP28U"
Resolution on the External Monitor: 2560x1440 60hz
Resolution on the Internal Monitor: 2560x1440 60hz
Scaling on both monitors is 1.5

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: System Settings (systemsettings), signal: Segmentation fault

Problems goes away when Global Scale set to 100%.  
Problem is present when Global Scale is 150%.

This set in:
System Settings > Hardware / Display and Monitor > Display Configuration > Global Scale [ Slider and input field ]
    Save display properties : "For any display arrangement"
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-03-02 22:06:31 UTC
I'm afraid Plasma 5.25 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Plasma 5.27 as soon as your distro offers it to you. If you need support for Plasma 5.25, please contact your distro, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older non-LTS releases.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to Plasma 5.27, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!

Hello Nate,
I was able to reproduced the KDE Plasma crash in the version 5.27.2 as 
you requested.

It is a very deterministic bug and easy to reproduce: set the scaling to 
150%, connect a USB-C monitor and try to reopen "System Settings".

Comment 11 Yurii 2023-07-14 11:24:29 UTC
Hi everybody. I'm new here so i don't even know if  such message is appropriate to but i'll take the risk. Just wanted to ask if somebody taking a look at it right now or planning to? I'm asking because this bug seems very serious and critical IMHO. It basically makes my docking station a useless brick i can't neither work with nor return. There is a workaround for this issue, by the way: enabling Nvidia Prime Performance mode helps, but since Nvidia drivers are bad it makes my whole system very laggy.
