SUMMARY *** Everything seems to freeze for roughly 10 to 60 seconds before continuing as normal. I believe it is just the x11 display that is frozen because i can still hear notifications etc happening in the background. It happens when the Yakuake window is at 100% width. When you open or close (with F12). It also happens when you try to adjust the window size slider in the Yakuake configurations. It has only just started doing this after the full system update for Manjaro yesterday. I have tried rolling back Yakuake to the previous version but it had no effect on this bug, it was still doing it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set window to 100% wide. 2. Set window to 100% height. 3. Open/close window via hotkey (F12). It does not freeze every time you open/close the window, but id say about 80% of the time it does freeze. 4. It will also freeze when sliding the window width slider in the Yakuake configurations. OBSERVED RESULT Everything seems to freeze for roughly 10 to 60 seconds before continuing as normal.

I do often use multiple tabs for SSH connections but i have closed all them now. I cant see this being connected to this bug but as it is the only entry that was added during the "freezes" i shall paste it here. kwin_x11[11453]: Could not get Interfaces. "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
Ok, after 24 hours of searching and very nearly reinstalling i found a couple of posts which i have linked below. The remedy was simple when you know. It was the ~/.config/kwinrc file that was causing the problem. It seems that after system updates it has been known to do this, causing all sorts of problems. I renamed it, rebooted, sorted out the settings that had now been set back to default, and it was all working again! Phew, that was close ^^. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/missing-menu-for-all-windows-after-stable-update/104235 https://forum.manjaro.org/t/custom-shortcuts-not-working-after-update/106934
