thank you for your bug report.

There are many people running testing and/or unstable, me included, for whom this bug doesn't happen. So we'll need a bit more analysis if we want to get it fixed.

Could you try creating a new user (without an existing $HOME directory) on one of the machines where you see the bug and report back if the new user still has the issue ?

Also can you find anything meaningful in the system log at the time where you right click or during the load of the user session ?

Lastly if you could have a look at the upstream bugs.kde.org platform and look for a similar bug report that would be useful. I'll have a look too when I can.


Happy hacking !
