It also happens to me since lot of fedora versions ago. Not on every computer with Plasma I need to say.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2021-05-10 15:50:43 UTC

I believe we'd debugged the source of this to some invalid appstream data provided by some fedora font packages.  I'll see if I can dig up the details.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2021-08-01 16:46:38 UTC

I no longer see this since the aforementioned font issue being fixed, closing
