Description dcm-kdebugs 2024-03-18 07:21:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a 2 monitor setup with the default Plasma panel on both screens. Frequently, I am noticing that the digital clock on one or both of the screens do not update their times normally. (Seems like same bug as closed 429411.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup default plasma panels on multiple screens, with digital clock visible.
2. Let time advance.

OBSERVED RESULT
Some of the digital clocks fall behind and show old times.

However, the times get updated after I interact with Plasma somehow e.g. by clicking on the panel over the clock. This indicates that Plasma is not repainting the panel automatically for some reason.

EXPECTED RESULT
All clocks should get updated every second or so (since I am showing second-level resolution).

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.7 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.24.7, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
