Odd. If plasmashell crashes, it should restart itself. Do you get a bug emoticon in the system tray after it crashes?
No, there is no emoticon in the system tray when the bug occurs. Quick updates: The bug persists in the the kde "5.18.0" and kde frameworks "5.67.0". But now the latte bar don't disappear when it happens.
