Description Patrick Silva 2022-01-20 13:26:10 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add Comic Strip widget to desktop
2. open Comic Strip settings and click on "Get new comics..." button
3. search for "dilbert" comic and install it
4. close 'Get new comics..." window
5. activate Dilbert comic (if it is not available for selection in the widget settings, restart Plasma with 'plasmashell --replace' and re-open the widget settings) and click on 'OK' button
6. disconnect your computer from the internet (I turned my router off)
7. logout
8. login: Comic Strip widget only shows a spinner
9. connect to internet: Comic Strip widget is still showing a spinner
10. restart Plasma with 'plasmashell --replace': now Comic Strip widget shows the comic as expected

EXPECTED RESULT
after the step 9, Comic Strip widget should detect internet connection and show a comic.
Restarting plasmashell process manually should not be required.
