Created attachment 163568 [details] What drkonqi-coredump-gui let me copy to clipboard SUMMARY changing the panel's width from custom to any of the other options or from the other options to custom and then clicking on the desktop sometimes crashes plasmashell. Can be avoided when, instead of clicking on the desktop, one exits edit mode by clicking on the exit edit mode button on top. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change panel width to custom 2. exit edit mode 3. chenge panel width to fill width 4. click on empty space on desktop OBSERVED RESULT plasmashell crashes. change to panel width is not saved EXPECTED RESULT plasmashell doesn't crash. (and I always expect that to exit the edit mode, but i don't know if that's what should happen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.6.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 3,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4400 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have kde-unstable and extra-testing enabled in pacman.conf I already let drkonqi report this automatically, but I thought a description of my actions that led to the crash might be more useful.
Cannot reproduce. I think you might be missing a step between 2 and 3, since you can't change the panel back to "Fill Width" mode without re-entering edit mode, but the way that you did that wasn't specified. Can you clarify? Thanks!

I just now managed to recreate the crash by just entering and exiting the edit mode a couple of times, without changing the width or any option. Also I just noticed I don't have debug symbols on my system, so the txt I attached is probably worthless? Sorry for that, I'm trying to fix that but I don't have enough space on my root partition. (What does that mean for the automatic report btw?)
Okay, sadly you can't edit here. The root partition is of course completely unrelated, that was a separate warning that popped up. The problem is actually that gdb takes too much ram to run on my system, so when I recreate the crash and then click on "see developer information" and then on "install debug symbols", after a while drkonqi gets killed by systemd-oomd or my computer completely freezes and I have to restart. I've tried increasing the swap twice with no successs, at this point idk what to do. I can't exactly download more ram.
I just made a fresh account to see if it still happens without my configs and, yes, it still happpens. But I also just downloaded kde neon unstable and live booted that and I can't reproduce the issue on neon. So either I messed up something deeper than the configs in my home folder, or it's a packaging issue with Arch or some commit that didn't yet make it to the arch kde-unstable repo, but is already included in the neon unstable iso from today, fixed the issue.
Yep, I suspect Arch packages are just a bit behind and don't include the new code changes that fixed it (first time I've ever said that!).
