Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

>From the docs:
This is dangerous, because when an event loop is entered in a signal
handler or binding, the QML engine continues to run other bindings,
animations, transitions, etc. Those bindings can then cause side effects
which, for example, destroy the hierarchy containing your event loop.

There was a queuedConnection approach that I guess tries to supress the problem, but it clearly didn't work.
In any case, it's better not to freeze the shell

BUG: 347997

Testing

Literally none. I can't work out how to trigger the "Edit Application" option. Helped/testing would be appreciated.


Thanks,
