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 *** This is just I guess, don't know if it's Kwin or not or how to report it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click on a image file, or launch any application 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Since version 5.27.0 it seems that doing normal things that open new windows often makes the desktop crash. It's very frequent, sometimes is more probable that the desktop will crash than not when I open an image on Gwenview, sometimes even also when I just open Dolphin before getting to the image I want to see. Launching new programs also may trigger a crash. There's also a more rare possibility that the desktop will not refresh automatically and I have to manually make it start with Krunner. EXPECTED RESULT Desktop not crashing. I don't know what's causing this, just that when a new window needs to be opened the desktop crashes. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon 5.27 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I use X11 because Wayland is still totally unusable here. Before sending this bug report I tested. Opened Dolphin, opened images on Gwenview. The sixth image made the desktop crash. I Have just Vivaldi open with this tab loaded after booting up the notebook.
When this happens, are you using X11 or Wayland? Regardless, if something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl. Can you please attach one using the `coredumpctl` command-line program, as detailed in the above documentation? Thanks!

If I'm allowed, I close this bug report. There was a problem, but fortunately before I could figure out what it was and make a correct report the Frameworks 5.104 and Plasma 5.27.3 arrived and something in them fixed the problems.
Great, thanks for following up!
