Thanks for the backtrace. Unfortunately it's is incomplete and missing debug symbols for the following lines that we need to figure out exactly what's going wrong:

#27 0x0000562886ce03f1 n/a (/usr/bin/plasmashell + 0x283f1)
#11 0x00007fdbc55d466f n/a (libQt6Core.so.6 + 0x1d466f)
#10 0x00007fdbc680515c n/a (libQt6Qml.so.6 + 0x20515c)
#16 0x00007fdbc6fc349f n/a (libQt6Quick.so.6 + 0x3c349f)
#0  0x00007fdbbe7393f8 n/a (libQt6QuickTemplates2.so.6 + 0x1393f8)

Could you please install debug packages and attach a new symbolicated backtrace generated by using `coredumpctl gdb` in a terminal window? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl for details about how to do this. Thanks again!
