Frequent Crash of KDE Plasma from LiveCode

Post by SirWobbyTheFirst » Thu Mar 13, 2025 10:59 pm

Hi again,

Has anyone encountered an issue on KDE Plasma 6 where LiveCode seems to trigger a crash and restart of the shell? Like the taskbar, desktop and such disappear and are restarted for doing seemingly normal stuff in LiveCode? I'm running LiveCode 10.0.0 and doing stuff as simple as opening a menu, pressing Ctrl+A to select all in the script editor, or even just now I put in "Put The Version" into the Message Box (Single Line) hit enter, it triggers a crash of KDE Plasma.

It doesn't happen in any other application on Linux, just LiveCode, host OS is CachyOS, kernel running is 6.13.5-2, with X11 running, if someone has any ideas what could be causing this because this is really giving me some buyers remorse spending money on a product that doesn't properly support a platform it claims to support.

I'm sorry I apparently missed this post when it initially came up, and I do not have a copy of 10 to do any proper testing with, but a little more information about the distro you are running might possibly help diagnose the issue, such as are you running Ubuntu or something else (specify)? which version number (12, 20, or at least the code name of the distro your using)?

Yeah, I've actually experienced something pretty similar on KDE Plasma. LiveCode 10 seems unusually unstable — especially when working in the script editor or opening context menus. It hasn’t fully crashed my shell like you're describing, but I’ve seen Plasma freeze for a few seconds and then recover, which is still super frustrating.
