Comment # 7 on bug 1014999 from Nolan Leasy

Agreed.  I have not been able to replicate the freeze since I re-installed and
updated Leap 42.2, but it's more of a Plasma 5.8 issue than openSUSE per se.

I did back up the image of the problematic install, prior to re-install, in
case the KDE team needs anything in terms of logs or configuration.  I strongly
suspect, however, that it might be a memory management issue of some sort.  My
wild guess would be that Plasma 5.8 is allowing an application such as Firefox
to write to display memory.

Let me know if you need anything more on my end.  Thanks!
