Description sparhawk 2016-08-01 11:47:03 UTC

Previously, I could select show CPUs separately. This no longer works; the plasmoid is blank and shows no information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change system load view's settings.
2. Show CPU monitor; CPUs separately. (Monitor type: Compact Bar.)
3. Click OK and observe plasmoid.

Actual Results:  
Plasmoid is blank.

Expected Results:  
Shown several bars, one for each CPU.

I've only noticed this recently, in the last week or so. I tried reverting to the last few versions of `kdeplasma-addons` as below, but they all had this problem.

5.6.3-2
5.6.4-1
5.6.5-1
5.6.95-1
5.7.0-1
5.7.1-1

This reflects the last three months of my update history for this package, so I'm fairly sure that this regression occurred within this time period. Presumably it's a bug in a different package, instead.

Occasionally, and seemingly at random, the plasmoid functions correctly. I tried killing and relaunching plasmashell, but this does not help. The plasmoid fails to work probably ~80% of the time.

This bug is still present in kdeplasma-addons-5.8.3, with a new bug. The new bug is definitely a systemloadviewer coding issue (undefined variable - memApplication) added since v5.8.2, but I concur that the other issues may very well be with a different package - perhaps plasma-workspace which provides systemmonitor.

I'm guessing that the "Cannot read property 'value' of undefined" errors are due to bad data in dataSource, which is seeded by systemmonitor - was there perhaps a change in the interface between systemloadviewer and systemmonitor that wasn't properly accommodated in the source code?

Still present in 5.8.4.

Curiously, it works for a plasmoid dropped on the desktop, but not in the panel.
