Description Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2016-02-22 21:06:11 UTC

Description of problem:
It's trivial to trigger a crash on Fedora 24 2016022 Rawhide KDE.
There is an upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357895.
It seems that a commit already fixed it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357895#c45

Since it's a nasty issue, I thought it would have been a good idea to file this downstream ticket in order to keep track of it. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

The component is just a guess, I'm not so familiar with the KDE Ecosystem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-workspace-5.5.4-3.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log In to Plasma
2. Hover repeatedly the task manager with the mouse

Actual results:
1. The entire Plasma's workspace crashes

Expected results:
1. Plasma's workspace should not crash.
