That's not what I was trying to do here.


With my Debian hat on, Plasma LTS is what I'm trying to keep in the 
stable release, for components not under a LTS release cherry picking 
might be our only option, though.


Then there is no need to ask, we will backport the changes which make 
sense. Bugfixes are dangerous as this issue here shows.


I'm asking because not every maintainer tracks lts, or at least not every 
issue in the lts. Sorry if it bothers you, but I still need to ask for issues 
that I can't test on my own.

NO! The fix is for a regression introduced with 5.10.3.


The bug referenced mentions that the issue was seen in 5.8 and 5.9,
that's why I'm asking.


That's just what the user said. It is wrong.

Technically it is not a regression.  It is just more likely to happen in
5.10.3, but it affects all versions of KWin.

KWin can also crash when a graphics reset has occurred, since it assumes
that glMapBufferRange() never returns NULL, and that is not the case when
the context has been lost.
