SUMMARY
When opening Discover, the app will display the app in focus for around ten-ish seconds then load into the app store like usual. If you attempt to close Discover while the separate app in focus is still on-screen, it will stop responding and prompt you to terminate the app. If you choose not to and wait, it will close by itself after a few seconds.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot up regularly
2. Use system regularly (I'm unsure as to what causes this issue but the apps that I use regularly include Youtube Music Desktop App, Librewolf, Libreoffice Writer, qBittorrent, the terminal, Visual Studio Code, Steam, and Counter Strike 2. It took about an hour for it to cook(?))
3. Open discover
4. If you want it to crash, attempt to close discover while the app in focus is on screen 

OBSERVED RESULT
Discover having visual bug + crashing when attempting to close

EXPECTED RESULT
Discover immediately loading into the store

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.27.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.3 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.27.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
