Bug ID: 463413
Summary: Plasma terminates after clicking the close button of
any window or dialogue from the process when hanging
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ryu.ketsu...@outlook.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
I'm not sure if this is related to the window manager or a task manager of
sorts but I noticed that whenever I close a notification when Plasma happens to
hang, it terminates. It also happens if I close Desktop Folder Settings (where
I apply wallpapers) or the settings for a plasmoid.
While this behavior happens with any application that happens to hang and I
press the close button on the titlebar, it is especially infuriating when it
happens with Plasmashell itself, because all panels and icons disappear and I
have to wait for it to restart on its own or, if the user is tech savvy enough,
restart it from KRunner.
Processes to hang is normal and should be expected in any machine. Sometimes
they hang for a fraction of a second, sometimes for a few seconds, depends on
how busy the CPU is. So, for Plasmashell, this is especially a problem.
So my suggestion is, don't allow Plasmashell to terminate if it hangs and the
user happens to click on a close button somewhere. Maybe make it a special rule
that Plasmashell can't be closed on user input or give higher priority so
Plasmashell won't hang as often in low end computers.
