openQA is showing that plasmashell sometimes crashes when we open the "Status and Notifications" pane and click "Notifications", e.g. here: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2073354 if you watch the video - https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2073354/video?filename=video.ogv&t=51.08,51.12 carefully, around the 11:30:36 mark, you can see the test clicks Notifications, and the entire desktop briefly goes black while the shell reloads. In the system logs we see this: Aug 15 08:30:34 localhost-live plasmashell[1795]: trying to show an empty dialog Aug 15 08:30:34 localhost-live plasmashell[1795]: trying to show an empty dialog Aug 15 08:30:34 localhost-live plasmashell[1795]: trying to show an empty dialog Aug 15 08:30:35 localhost-live plasmashell[1795]: Qt Quick Layouts: Detected recursive rearrange.

Not sure how to get better details on the crash, please advise. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a Fedora 39 or Rawhide KDE live image 2. Wait ten minutes (probably not necessary, but openQA does this) 3. Click the up-arrow thingy in the bottom right pane to open the "Status and Notifications" pane 4. Click "Notifications" Actual Results: Desktop briefly goes black then reloads, you never actually get where clicking "Notifications" should have taken you Expected Results: Clicking "Notifications" should work as expected
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
