Description Schlaefer 2025-05-16 10:54:28 UTC 
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kactivitymanagerd/-/commit/fb2c4167c782ef62b7f5f54a2e0d94bf9593ec87#f8deb7d579a1652649beacb0eed26c904e5109a6_57_56

removed public Q_SLOTS from Activities::CurrentActivity which leads to range of symptoms:

- Erratic behavior incl. not being able to switch between activities via shortcut or plasmoid
- Plasmashell and kactivitymanagerd hugging a CPU core at 100% with an existing db at ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/database
- NULL values inserted into the activitymanager DB etc.

Compiling with Activities::CurrentActivity under Q_SLOTS seems to fix all these problems here.

Comment 1 Akseli Lahtinen 2025-05-16 11:39:00 UTC 
Can confirm, and moving the public Q_SLOTS fixes the issue.

Activities: Move public Q_SLOTS back to above CurrentActivity

This reverts commit fb2c4167c782ef62b7f5f54a2e0d94bf9593ec87 partially.
Moving the Q_SLOTS here caused some plugins get null information from
these methods, and crashing kactivitymanagerd.
FIXED-IN: 6.4
