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

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