KDE dialog windows crashing

Hello,

all kde dialog windows are not responding for me. This includes warnings like "Do you really want to delete these x items" from dolphin and other warning windows you sometimes from programs like kmail or kile.

To make things clearer, I've made a very short video.

I see no errors when starting the program via a terminal or by checking journalctl -xe.

Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it just telling me what part is at fault so I can better google it :-)

Re: KDE dialog windows crashing

Looks like the event processing is stalled (the WM call  to close the window is ignored as well)
gdb into the process to see what it's doing (it'll likely be trapped in a function)

Re: KDE dialog windows crashing

Thanks for the advice.
I tried another thing first though:
A newly created user on this system didn't experience this bug. After deleting user config folders (~/.config ~/.kde4 etc) it works for my old user too. Now I'm clueless how to replicate the bug again :-/
