SUMMARY With Plasma 6 compiled from git master using kdesrc-build, I noticed that the Desktop Cube effect stops working after either opening it about 5 times (in other words pressing its keyboard shortcut 10 times or so) or activating the overview/grid effect and then closing it. When the effect is no longer working, I see this message appear in the system logs after every second press of the keyboard shortcut (so when the effect would be closed if it was working): "QuickSceneEffect.source is empty. Did you forget to call setSource()?" STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the overview/grid effect and close it 2. Try to open the desktop cube effect OBSERVED RESULT The desktop cube does not appear on screen EXPECTED RESULT The desktop cube appears on the screen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.8-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 30.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When the effect is working, I see three of these messages appear in the logs every time it is triggered, but it's also true for other effects like the overview/grid so not sure if it's relevant: kwin_wayland_wrapper[10466]: amdgpu: amdgpu_cs_ctx_create2 failed.

I can reproduce this. Same thing I observed in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/562#note_920272, which is fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5702.
Git commit 84633badc74ca2502bfd33bc4566667eb4bb57ca by Vlad Zahorodnii, on behalf of David Edmundson. Committed on 23/05/2024 at 09:00. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. effects: Support dynamic delegate changes whilst running The cube effect has a placeholder which can update the delegate at runtime. There's an "add desktop" button which then might give us 3 virtual desktops. As a general rule any setter exposed via a declarative API should always perform the setting. Reloading has to be delayed because otherwise we unload the caller.

For the record, it broke again, which is now being tracked in Bug 488654.
