Plasma gets stuck in edit mode
For a few months now, if I select
Show Panel Configuration my plasma half goes into edit mode and locks up.
I can still alt tab to switch between windows and work within them (shortcuts such as ctrl+alt+t work), but I can't interact with the taskbar at all.
None of the configuration options appear. It just looks like the second screenshot and sits there frozen.
I tried killall plasmashell && plasmashell & and got the error in the 3rd screenshot (not sure if this is just because old search results that no longer apply for this version?)
Has anyone else had/resolved this issue? Or know where to look?Solution:Jump to solution
I'd try resetting the Plasma settings

I'd try resetting the Plasma settings
Try the following:
* Open the file explorer (Dolphin)
* Press CTRL+H to show hidden files and folders
* Delete your .cache folder (it will be recreated but it solves lots of issues)
* Open the .config folder and delete plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc (this is the core file that holds your pinned applications, and panels and widget settings)
* Think you might have to run
killall plasmashell && plasmashell & for the reset to occur
* Hopefully the editor will work normally after that
If that doesn't work you can go deeper with resetting overall plasma/kde settings by deleting more files in the .config folderthanks!! perfect
