This has been happening for a long time now for me with <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/virt-manager" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#virt-manager</a> - tho that wasn't the case in the past for just as long. That being said, IIRC it's happened with the application launcher too, tho that works for me atm, but KRunner almost always fails to launch it - only the app icon appears to be loading on the dock/panel, then it disappears. When it does happen, journalctl would report this error: <pre><code>ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libvirt'</code></pre>

Bugs are _really_ minor. Signal crashes sometimes when opening the screencast portal and I got the top left corner of my screen unusable once after a Windows game crashing under Wine. Beside that, everything is flawless. Most of I do in Qt Creator, Floorp, Signal, Alacritty, virtmanager/boxes, FL Studio and Wine/Proton.
