KF5 strange launcher behaviour [solved]

Hi all, since a recent update (to latest versions of plasma from x64 extra) I have strange behaviour

a) launcher only shows my favourites
b) If I click an icon it does not start,. instead I see a black bar on the side of the launcher
c) if I search in launcher the background goes completely dark but then I can at least start the application
d) on the taskbar panel I also see a thin black bar at the top of it

I couldn't find anything recent in the forum so does anyone know what could be the problem? Reset my home directory but still not solved...

Also running the nvidia-340xx drivers

Yes, downgrade of QT5 to 5.4.0 solved it
