@piggo@piggo.space what KDE bug? maybe i’ll do it
@mia @zleap
Ok the bug is: sometimes when right clicking on items in the system tray, the menu takes long to open, then it feels like the whole plasmashell freezes, and some time later hundreds of context menus appear on top of one another, so you get this thick black steadily growing and darkening shadow, everything else becomes unresponsive. The only way out is to kill plasmashell (i didn't find how to restart it afterwards) or reboot from another TTY

@piggo@piggo.space @zleap@qoto.org okay, what kind of item are you right clicking on? do you know if it has native status notifier support (i.e. a KDE/gnome or modern qt application) or uses x11 windows for the systray (and has to go through the status notifier item proxy)?

@piggo @mia Ok not a dev expert but that does sound like a serious problem.
I do understand how you feel with regard to forums though, some forums are great, others are great if you find the right person but can be a nightmare in terms of getting people to actually take notice of problems from end users.
The rudeness people get is not needed but also reflects badly on the community at large.
