-- Information about the crash:
I tried to start the Start menu by pressing the Win-key on my swiss keyboard. Usually, this works very fine.
This time, instead of launching the menu, Plasma crashed.

The reporter is unsure if this crash is reproducible.

Comment 2 Bug Janitor Service 2025-11-01 17:33:43 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 5.27.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point.

Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.
Thanks for understanding!

Thanks again!
