           Summary: KDE KickOff Application Launcher crashes when typing
                    to search for applications
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.7.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk

I recently migrated from Gnome to KDE. I am running KDE Plasma 5.7.2 on Arch
Linux. I am having an annoying problem: The KDE KickOff application launcher
sometimes crashes while I am typing to search for an application by its name.
It first freezes, then the entire panel vanishes, then the panel returns to the
desktop. I only have one widget. I removed it, but the problem did not go away.
I have also disabled "Expand search to bookmarks, files and emails" under
Application Launcher Settings. The problem persists. Removing the panel and
creating a new one did not help either. I am using the standard Breeze theme.
After struggling with this issue for a while, yesterday I changed the menu
style to "Application Dashboard". My notebook has an Intel integrated graphics
card and I am not using proprietary drivers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Application Launcher" under KickOff -> Alternatives. 
2. Start the KickOff menu.
3. Type text to search for matching applications, 

Actual Results:  
Oftentimes (not always) the kickoff freezes and then the panel is restarted.  

Expected Results:  
We should be able to type text with no freezes or crashes. Matching
applications should be displayed. 

Hardware: Dell XPS 13, model 9343, Intel GPU.
