            Bug ID: 389059
           Summary: Deleting articles causes graphics reset
           Product: akregator
           Version: 5.7.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: get.sonic at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I use Nvidia graphics card with proprietary drivers (from RPMFusion).

Earlier with Fedora 26, when deleting multiple articles on Akregator, I often
(but not always) used to get the message "desktop effects were restarted due to
a graphics reset" from plasma. But plasma used to come back up and apart from
the irritation, it wasn't doing major harm.

Now with Fedora 27, I have the similar problem, but then plasma does not come
beck up. It just hangs. I can switch to another VT and if I switch back, I see
the mouse pointer on a black background. I can move the pointer around and it
changes (to pointy-hand, cursor etc) based on where I keep it, indicating that
underneath the black background, the applications are still active.

So far, the only recovery I've been able to find is doing "init 3" followed by
"init 5" to get back the login screen.

I can reproduce this at will by simply deleting a few articles on Akregator.
