¡Hola Anthony!

Package: plasma-workspace Version: 4:5.8.6-2.1 Severity: important

(note: a friend found this on his Stretch box, and asked me to try it on my testing/unstable box where it happens as well. So this bug affects stable.)

With widgets unlocked: Right click desktop -> add panel -> default panel Nothing appears to happen. After a moment (and possibly some clicking on the desktop), plasmashell segfaults.

I installed the dbgsym packages and ran it under GDB, obtaining a hug (19M!) backtrace, as it has over 76,000 frames—appears like infinite recursion. Though I'm somewhat confused why there are different frames on both ends, unless that's the crash report error handler trying to work...

Thankfully, xz managed to bring it down to 139K. Attached.

Both of us are using the nVidia proprietary drivers, if that matters.

I can't reproduce the issue here with an intel card, so it might be that the issue is related to the nvidia drivers. I'm not really sure, can you test if the issue is still reproducible for you with 4:5.8.7-1, currently in unstable?

(we have already requested approval for 4:5.8.7-1+deb9u1 for it to enter in stretch)

If the problem persist with 4:5.8.7-1, could you please forward this issue upstream, reporting the issue in: https://bugs.kde.org ? If you do so, please also send us an update with the upstream url bug.

Happy hacking,
