SUMMARY
Plasmashell completely freezes if you try to place catwalk on a vertical panel or if you place it on a horizontal panel and then set the panel vertically. If I place the panel vertically and then add catwalk, it freezes from the moment it starts, before it even has time to show the panel, so I have to delete the org.kde.plasma.catwalk folder from .local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ and kill the plasmashell process to get it back.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter edit mode
2. Add catwalk to a panel
3. Setting the panel vertically

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasmashell freezes entirely

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel is placed vertically and keeps working
