doesn't appear to be reproducible in master, so probably needs a 5.19 specific fix

screen recording on neon unstable

Currently the problem is a bit different on neon unstable.
The sensors continue working after I change the Plasma layout, but their colors change to black (widgets with Text Only and Horizontal Bars display styles are not affected) and the widgets titles change to generics "Bar/Line/Pie Chart", "Text only" and "Horizontal bars" until Plasma is restarted.
Watch the attached screen recording please.
