Bug Description
I did experience this quite a lot recently. I am not fully sure if the bug is related to plank, but it seems to appear when plank was hidden and shows up again, or when hovering with the pointer over the icons. After it crashed, only the mouse pointer works, the other graphics are completely frozen and do not respond. I tried to bring up a terminal by ctrl+alt+f2 to kill and/or restart plank, but this also does not work, i.e. the terminal does not show up. The only way out seems to be a restart. I will now set the plank to 'never hide' to see if the problem persists.
Best Regards,
Daniel
PS: I just checked, it also happens when plank is set to 'never hide'. I changed the title accordingly.
