I've been having an issue related to panel elements (icons, text, widgets) on panels. When a panel is created, every widget, icon, or any other information put on this panel can be seen without problems. However, after a reboot or power off and the system is logged back, all icons or information have disappeared. When moving the mouse over the panels, the widget's tool tips are shown and everything is clickable and responds to actions. Recreating the panel again and rebooting repeats the issue. Sometimes, icons on the panel are barely visible but with a high saturated color. I've others machines with KDE Neon (same version) and this problem doesn't happen. This is happening only wiht a desktop computer with Nvidia GPU attached and proprietary Nvidia drivers installed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create new panel with lots of widgets, in a machine with GPU (probably NVIDIA), using any compositor backend supported; 2. Reboot or poweroff the machine; 3. Login back to the system. OBSERVED RESULT All panels' icons and text disappeared, but it responds to interactions like mouse over and clicks. EXPECTED RESULT Icons and any other elements are preserved after reboots. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NVIDIA Driver Version: 410.79 Compositor rendering backend: OpenGL 2.0 or 3.1 and XRender.
After a reboot? Not after a suspend? That's new. Please attach a screenshot. Also please try the following in order. Add to ~/.config/plasmashellrc [QtQuickRendererSettings] GraphicsResetNotifications=true Then also try [QtQuickRendererSettings] SceneGraphBackend=software And report back on what either accomplish

I've been trying to reproduce the issue to post a screenshot after it happens, but I don't know why, it's not happening again, even without changing ~/.config/plasmashellrc. Probably the last updates fixed it. I think this report can be closed. If it happens again, I'll open another one with the effects. Thanks!
Thanks for the update; changing status as requested in comment #2.
