I think this is the well known and annoying bug in plasma https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356479 (+many other duplicates) Someone (Lindsay Roberts) found at least part of the solution, will be in plasma 5.9 and should be backported to 5.8 (rant - it is hard to believe how many years this could stay on kde buglist when it is so prevalent and easy to determine from profiling, it was a sitting duck and they did nothing)
As its an open source world, software development/maintenance relies on skilled volunteers so i wouldn't rant too much as this work is done by people giving up their free time for no reward. I know its frustrating but thats the reality of it [my main point was highlight of the bug - the rant was an added bonus]

More importantly the way plasma is structured, no introspection, the near complete lack of documentation mean that casual contributions are very difficult, the system is close to being a black-box. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
