Description Geoffrey Clements 2022-04-29 08:30:37 UTC
SUMMARY
Any comics that are configured do not show. I believe this started on KDE Plasma Version 5.24.3.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add comic widget to desktop
2. Configure comics (in my case Dilbert and XKCD)

OBSERVED RESULT
Comic widget remains blank although tabs do appear for each comic.

EXPECTED RESULT
Latest comic should be displayed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.24

Can confirm the exact same behavior and also that this started around 5.24.3.

Operating System: KDE neon 5.24
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-40-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2

and a system with the same software settings but 
8x Core i7 8770 and Mesa/Intel graphics

looks like this duplicates:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452596

one workaround seems to be to downgrade the KDE framework to 5.92
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-05-03 16:43:45 UTC
Yep, it's a recent regression. It's fixed in 5.24.5, which was just released today.
