--- Comment #6 from Alexander Schmiechen <alexander.schmiechen@gmx.net> ---
Same bug here, Plasma 5.3.2 / Frameworks 5.12.

The META (windows) key will cause Plasmashell to crash. ALT-ESC and ALT-F2
still work, but there is no way to get back to the running applications, making
a reboot necessary. I was used to quickly flip between activities using the
META-TAB combination.

Reproducible: always 

Steps to reproduce: press META key immediately after logging in to plasma (with
or without combination with other keys)

Expected results: no freezing of the desktop

I wouln't call it a workaround but at least it reduces the risk of
unintentional lost of data: avoid pressing the META key after logging in to
plasma and switch activities by using the desktop workbench in the upper left
corner for the first time. After that, the META key is recognized and handled
correctly.
