I have a very frustrating problem where Plasma freezes completely such that none of the panels are interactive and their are stuck with their state exactly when they froze. The time does not update, etc. Pressing the Meta key which I have mapped to open the task launcher does not work. The only way to switch active windows is Alt-Tab or clicking the window, and the only way to launch new programs is with Alt-Space or typing them into a terminal window.
Sometimes, but not always, my Brave browser ceases to allow you to switch between tabs, but this may be its own problem or a common cause, because this browser behavior can occur when plasma is not frozen.
Plasma is not considered “crashed” and Dr. Konqui does not launch. Forcing a relaunch of plasmashell or kwin does NOT fix the problem.
The problem shows up with both Wayland and X11 sessions.
