Created attachment 1224847 [details] sosreport Description of problem: Nov 27 08:13:18 K25 plasmashell[4459]: "KConfigIni: In file /usr/share/applications/fedora-release-notes.webapp.desktop, line 7: " "Invalid escape sequence \"\\$\"." Application menu freezes but still exists as it blocks windows beneath it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):kf5-plasma-5.27.0-1.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible:First time I noticed this message when investigating various panel/application menu hangs. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Had Firefox, KeepassX and Konsole open. 2.Clicked the K Menu icon to launch Kate. 3. Actual results:Favorites menu appears and freezes. Windows behind it do not receive messages through it so it does exist but is not processing any events. Expected results:Menu would appear and continue to function. Additional info:I had just performed a standard update that included several libreiffice packages, chrony, colord, dmidecoode, libcurl, xorg-x11-server-Xephyr, xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-server-common. Chuld windows of other apps appear properly.
We really need to get that hack out of fedora-release-notes.webapp.desktop , been meaning to help fix that for some time. That said, I'm not convinced this is the cause of the freeze(s) mentioned here. Can you test if removing 'fedora-release-notes' pkg resolves that or not?
Removing fedora-release-notes removed the error in the log but not the problem Iw as chasing down so they're probably not related.
The "freezes" are not related to this so I'm closing this ticket. Thanks for the help.
