Networks widget blank display

After a few hours of being signed in to my user account, the Networks widget, when clicked on from the system tray, appears completely blank. The ethernet connection is not listed, none of the wifi signals are listed, none of the installed VPN profiles are listed. Loading "Wi-Fi & Internet" in system settings displays all the connections and can be activated from there, but the widget just stops displaying anything unless I do any of the following:
1) Reboot
2) Log out, then log back in
3) Force restart plasmashell via `kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell`

Any ideas?

How strange. We'll need logs to troubleshoot this.

Can you run `journalctl -f` in a terminal window? Then, the next time you notice it's happened, go to the terminal window, press Ctrl+C to cancel collecting more logs, Press Ctrl+Shift+S and save the log output as a file somewhere, and then attach the file here.

Also, I assume you're using released packages from Arch rather than git master, right? Meaning, Plasma 6.4.4 or 6.4.5?

Thanks!
