dear developers. the project "life-exam" https://life-edu.eu/exam.html strongly relies on the features and capabilities of plasmashell. the kiosk system is at the heart of the project and the sheer number of configuration options this shell provides makes all of this possible in the first place. so at first, i want to say thank you!
sometimes i run into a bug and because you have helped me iron out many of those bugs before i'm trying again - cause this time this bug is a showstopper. (it happens not just at first boot but when students switch into the exam environment too) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423421 for no reason plasmashell randomly RECONFIGURES a perfectly fine setup. but not the entire setup - it switches from "desktopcontainment" to "folder" and all widgets and the wallpaper are lost.. usually those widgets are preserved (at least on a manual switch) .. it does not create a new activity.. the "default" activity - even the activity icon is still the "original" it deletes the whole containment section [Containments][22] from plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and creates a new section [Containments][52] the original plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc is read from inside the filesystem.squashfs file.. i also tried mounting the squashfs and had a look at the original in there... everything was as it should be this seems to happen on a live usb flash drive only.. (or when booting the iso file in virtualbox) it is very easy to reproduce and it makes no sense to me at all. so i hope you can shed some light on this and help me figure out what's wrong here cheers thomas weissel
