SUMMARY When I log into Plasma, my panel is much more opaque than it should (whatever is set by Breeze Transparent Dark). This happens about 80% of the times I boot my computer and log into Plasma. Running 'plasmashell --replace' restores the expected level of transparency every time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use Breeze Transparent Dark as Plasma style (I don't know if this happens with other transparent themes) 2. Reboot your computer (not sure this happens after a simple logout+login) 3. Log in OBSERVED RESULT Panel is much darker than it should. Running 'plasmashell --replace' fixes it. EXPECTED RESULT Panel should show the transparency level set by Breeze Transparent Dark, without needing to restart plasmashell. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.2 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 520 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Relevant screenshots added in the following comments.

Reminds me of Bug 423297.
I had actually almost forgotten about this bug, because now I realize I haven't seen it for some time, at least several weeks. It must have been fixed with some update in the last couple of months. Should I mark it as solved?
(In reply to David de Cos from comment #4) > Should I mark it as solved? yep. keep an eye on it and reopen if happens again on post 5.21 versions of plasma
