I’ve put this under KDE Plasma because it’s handling global shortcuts, but it’s not clear where the problem is.
I’m getting intermittent software crashes (mostly with associated segfaults) after using keyboard shortcuts (eg Ctrl+V to paste, or Ctrl+A to select all).
It makes no difference what software I’m working with - so far it’s happened on Qgis, Kate, Okular, Digikam and Firefox. The Firefox one has only happened once (I say this because it’s the only non-Qt application in the list, so this could still be Qt-related and that last merely a coincidence).
Most times journalctl reports a segfault, but the error code, process and CPU core changes each time (so far I’ve had the actual application eg Kate as the process, but in other cases it’s been reported as breeze.so, so it doesn’t seem to be related to the actual process.
An example of the latest entry on crash (but these vary, as I said, quite a lot)

This started after I made some adjustments to the keyboard shortcuts, but it’s happening on the use of keys I haven’t even adjusted (also I’ve changed all keys back to defaults in my first attempt to diagnose the problem).
