Created attachment 159150 [details] stacktrace of the crash SUMMARY Experimenting with bug 469908, KWin resurrected itself already a few times (so session might be dirty / unstable?) STEPS TO REPRODUCE I only remember moving my mouse over the panel to unhide, so I can click on the the VD-selector. OBSERVED RESULT Crash - see attached stacktrace with 45 lines It differs from the "usual" 35 lines I got several times for bug 469908 EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 23.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-20-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Product Name: GE70 2OC\2OD\2OE System Version: REV:1.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Looks like the same backtrace as Bug 442222, which was supposed to have been fixed in Plasma 5.27. Do you have the "Dim Inactive" effect enabled, and are you closing a grouped app?
Yes, Dim Inactive effect is in effect ;) though I definitely didn't use audacity for some weeks. Anyway, here is another backtrace registered in coredumpctl ... it also happened on unhiding the panel (but this time for the highlight window effect - similar symptom, but totally different

> and are you closing a grouped app? Happened again - same stack-trace. There is definitely no mouse-click or keyboard-input involved. I only move the pointer to uncover the auto-hide-panel (usually over the area of the task-list or the virtual desktop switcher). As either of the stack-traces only happens about once a day, I more like suspect a race condition of the drawing code not finishing in time before the mouse moves somewhere else and forces e.g. a hover effect on the unfinished drawing ...
