Right click the task bar and Plasma crashes

[vanadiumboy]

Hello, I am running Kubuntu 22.04 but this seems to affect previous versions as well.
Sometimes, when I right click on the task bar, on an empty area or maybe a running program, nothing happens since it seems “Plasma” is busy. I right click again and then, it crashes, the taskbar disappears and reappears.

It seem as if I should not right click a second time when the system is busy.

Am I the only one who has experienced this?

Take a look at e.g. journalctl -a -e in Konsole afterwards, scroll up and see if you can spot some useful information according to the crash.
Press [q] to exit.

Are there specific other programs always running when the crash occurs?

PS: Kubuntu 22.04 is running fine here without those crashes (with and without Kubuntu Backports, on bare metal and in virtual machines).

I'll try it the next time it happens.

Of course you could also always create another user account to detemine if the culprit is within your /home/$USER …
