A video showing plasmashell constantly freezing

SUMMARY

Recently, Plasmashell has started constantly freezing, usually triggered when interacting with a panel or the desktop. It seems using any sort of desktop effect like Overview or bringing up a panel on another screen unfreezes it... until it freezes again in a few seconds.

This only occurs on the Wayland session. It works fine on the X11 session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Interact with any widgets on a panel (not required but triggers it faster)

OBSERVED RESULT

The plasmashell process freezes.

EXPECTED RESULT

I would expect plasmashell to not freeze.

After further review and experimentation, it seems I was using the git version of Arch's egl-wayland package. I tested this issue with the base egl-wayland package, and it worked fine. I switched back to the git version, and the issue occurred again.

I'm sorry to waste anyone's time. I'll close this now.
