SUMMARY I experience glitches when switching from one wifi to another or simply by disconnecting from VPN STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect to a wifi 2. Change it to another wifi 3. Now the panel is not responding for a few seconds EXPECTED RESULT It should response quickly or at least it should be on another thread so that it wouldn't freeze the whole panel SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Also I recorded my screen so that it would be easier to understand. I'm not good at video editing so I simply downloaded kdenlive and blured a part but I couldn't remove it later so it just remains :) Link to the record: https://mega.nz/file/TwEAkTpB#WONFOKLrL4Evw40n4bLtkeiK9IiOI5WJlDIlSgHiIVk
So this happens for all disconnection operations for you, not just disconnecting from ExpressVPN? I cannot reproduce the issue by disconnecting from wifi.

I cannot reproduce the issue by disconnecting > from wifi. Thanks for commenting. Yes it happens all the time. Even now with KDE Plasma Version 5.21.1 it occurs First I thought it might be some kind of network lock on my laptop but I tested it in another laptop and got the same result I can reproduce it and record it if you want?
I also experience the issue on arch with plasma 5.21. Let me know how I can help.
The latest update fixed the issue The current working software KDE Plasma Version : 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version : 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
It still happens for me on 5.21.4. I haven't rebooted yet though, so I'll try that first and reply a bit later.
Problem persists for me after a reboot. I tested by activation and then deactivating the connection. Maybe it is less noticable if you don't do it one after the other
Ok I thought it got fixed, but it's not When I disconnect expressvpn, it works fine. But while changing wifi, it hangs again So I guess it's never been fixed actually :)
The bugs always reproduces when doing these steps: 1. Connect to WiFi and wireguard VPN. 2. OpenNetworks dialog and turn off only WiFi (and leave VPN connected) Observed results: All KDE dialog and systembar hangs for 7-10 seconds. My system: Manjaro Linux, KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Facing this issue as well. It has become more noticeable on Wayland. Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Strangely enough, I can't reproduce it anymore... Perhaps the issue is solved? KDE Plasma Version : 5.22.3 KDE Frameworks Version : 5.84.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
I can still reproduce it when switching from one Wireless network to another. But it happens only when I switch 3-4 times in quick succession.

After a month, the problem still exists. Others still have this issue?
Yep. It still happens to me when disconnecting a vpn connection. Actually, it happens after doing it just once.
This problem also exists in my laptop. When the two networks switch, plasma fails to operate Two network devices
The problem still persists and is always reproducible when doing these steps: 1. Connect to both WiFi and Wireguard VPN. 2. Open Networks dialog and: A. turn off only WiFi (and leave VPN connected) or B. turn off only VPN Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
This looks like a duplicate of bug 409392. While waiting for a response from NetworkManager, plasma-nm seems to be blocking the whole plasma.
Yep, looks like it. Thanks for finding that! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 409392 ***
