While making the backtrace, I've found that I can't reproduce the crash every time now (I don't think anything in KF5/Plasma5 has changed though); it doesn't depend on what text I type to search, but other than that, I can't really say

Comment 5 Davide Nifosi 2014-10-19 12:27:43 CEST

I've recently cleared my KDE4 settings by removing the .kde4 folder and I've found that I could no longer reproduce the crash the way I did before, no matter how many times I tried. I still get some Plasma crashes and odd Kickoff menu behaviour, but I can't reproduce those

Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMED

Closing then since we can't reproduce.
