Bug Description

With KdeSVN 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04, the context menu is not staying up when the user right clicks an item and instead eaither closes or sometimes automatically selects the first option in the context menu. The only way to use the context menu at present is to right click and hold and drag to the item to select.

This was not the behavior with kdesvn on 18.04.

This issue was resolved by installing `kde-plasma-desktop` which put in all the necessary libraries to get KDE apps working much better. This installation also fixed KFind and other KDE apps that I use.

Note `kde-plasma-desktop` is huge and after installing and before restarting the computer run `sudo apt update`. If you don't run this update, may brick gnome on reboot making it a very tricky to get back up and running.

I made this mistake the first time I installed 20.04 by rebooting without an `apt update`. My Gnome was pooched and I had to do a revert to a ZVN snapshot, which is never ideal as the revert will not fix files under your home which were modified by kde library installation leaving gnome working but in a sad place. If this happens, you would need to hand revert files in home that were modified during kde libs install.
