KDE freezes on Special Window/Application Settings menu

I wanted to disable Global Shortcuts for Blender and happened on a nasty bug on Kubuntu 16.04 (applies to all windows).

The standard method is to go via right click on the title bar, 'More Actions' and 'Special Application (Window) Settings', clicking which completely froze my desktop. It wasn't reproducible on my laptop running 18.04, so I just note the workaround: don't ever click on those menu entries. Save your work more often. Change Window Rules via System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Rules.
