Bug ID: 459042 Summary: A malconfigured kioslaverc file causes extreme slowdowns when communicating between apps Product: frameworks-kio Version: unspecified Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: leonardogilr...@gmail.com CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 152015 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=152015&action=edit The broken kioslaverc file SUMMARY: Actions that initiate communication between apps will either cause the plasmashell to freeze and/or take a huge amount of time to finish. Examples include clicking a link in Libreoffice to open in Firefox or clicking on a file in Dolphin to open in any other application, which both take upwards of 15 seconds. One notable example is trying to search for a weather station in KDE Plasma's Weather Report widget, which will lock up plasmashell, leaving the only thing to do being to use a terminal to reboot or restart plasmashell. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a file in ~/.config called kioslaverc 2. Paste the text below into it: ProxyUrlDisplayFlags=0 [Proxy Settings] NoProxyFor= Proxy Config Script= ProxyType=3 ReversedException=false ftpProxy= httpProxy= httpsProxy= socksProxy= OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
