Description nathanmonfils 2018-06-02 11:44:33 UTC
Every once in a while, the panel stops refreshing for some reason (I still haven't noticed any obvious trigger, but this might just be because I usually don't notice the bug right away). My widgets just stop refreshing (so the clock is stuck on a specific time for instance). Hovering over a tray icon doesn't highlight it like it should, however I still get a tooltip and I can still click it.

Here are my journalctl logs from the time my clock got stuck:

```

I use the latest NVidia propietary drivers from my package manager (version 396.24) on a GTX 980. Sometimes plasma crashes but immediately recovers, which might be linked (I will update this bug report next time it happens to see if it has anything to do with it).

This problem has been happening for at least a few months now (so it's not specific to one version).

Yup, that's it! Although I have no idea how compositing got disabled in my case, unless I accidentally pressed Alt+Shift+F12 (which I didn't even know about until now).

I'll mark it as a duplicate.
