frescobaldi 2.0.13 causes plasma to freeze/crash

Asked by dessert

Kubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, 3.13.0-43-generic x86_64, frescobaldi 2.0.13 (from universe)

Hello,
Working with KDE activities I experienced a reproducible bug today, in which my desktop nearly froze. The cause of this behaviour turned out to be frescobaldi, and updating to the actual git version 2.0.17 totally resolved the issue. I saw that the faulty version 2.0.13 isn’t going to be updated until Vivid yet, so I wondered whether the bug is already known.

Here’s the issue at the github page of frescobaldi, explaining the bug and its solution:
https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/439#issuecomment-49526547 and following

My own struggle can be found here (in German):

Short version: After months of working with frescobaldi 2.0.13 under Kubuntu Trusty I tried the „activities“-feature. The bug occured every time with at least one second activity started, directly on the launch of frescobaldi. V2.0.17 from the git works perfectly.

Best regards,
Konstantin

my bad: replace „v2.0.17“ by „v2.17“ (they went from 2.0.16 to 2.17 in one release)

The current release 2.17.1 works perfectly.
