Didn't try. Did you change something? I could try, but I've done so
before and every time this bug manifests itself with MAJOR.MINOR-rc# I
get asked to try version MAJOR.(MINOR+1)-rc# so I guess I could as well
give up?

Alright, I'll install 5.3-rc7, but once more it might take some time for
this bug to expose itself.

One thing to note though, is that this occurred much more often with
older kernels (or older versions of the Kubuntu desktop/Firefox in my
VM), sometimes even several times in an hour of use.

Best regards,
