Screenshot of the widget about to be dragged to second monitor

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a Global Menu widget
2. Drag it to the edge of the monitor where it appears

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget disappears completely and becomes impossible to remove until the application bar is killed or session restarted, at which point the menu widget appears somewhere on the target monitor.

EXPECTED RESULT
The widget should appear on the target monitor immediately and not after a restart.

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to figure this out yet. A lot has changed since it was reported d I can't reproduce it in Plasma 6.5; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.5 or later? Thanks a lot!
