SUMMARY

using + to add sticky notes to a large panel causes a severe freeze

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create empty panel
2. make it big. (probably optional)
3. click the + button in the middle
4. select Sticky Notes

OBSERVED RESULT
the DE becomes unusable.

EXPECTED RESULT
should have a sticky notes plasmoid inside the panel. If this wasn't intended, it should error.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I did make the panel have the "fit content" option enabled. I also made it autohide

"Make it big" is actually not an optional step. :) This is fixed for Plasma 6.4.0.
