Thank you for the bug report. I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. Unfortunately the backtrace is incomplete and missing debug symbols for the following lines that we need to figure out exactly what's going wrong:

#15 0x00007f2dd6bf38c7 n/a (libKF6ConfigCore.so.6 + 0x238c7)
#19 0x00007f2dd4b1a253 n/a (libKF6IconThemes.so.6 + 0x2c253)
#13 0x00007f2dd4e5d5b5 n/a (libQt6Core.so.6 + 0x25d5b5)
#25 0x00007f2dd53859f9 n/a (libQt6DBus.so.6 + 0x429f9)

Could you please install debug symbols 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!
