Bug ID: 442970
Summary: Opening a large zip file with kickoff hangs
plasmashell and floods systemd journal
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: julianalcorn...@gmail.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Opening a archive file with Kickoff will hang plasmashell, and flood the
systemd journal for about a minute before opening the file with the default
application.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a large (about 1G) archive file (tested with zip and tar.gz)
2. Search for the file in Kickoff
3. Click the file or press enter while it is highlighted
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasmashell freezes for a while with high cpu and ram usage, and the journal
also sees high cpu usage. Eventually, plasmashell unfreezes, and the file opens
in the archive manager.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file opens in the archive manager as if clicked on in the file explorer

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
