Description AK-47 2021-02-22 13:49:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
Panel crashes frequently, and does not restart

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use KDE under Wayland for some time.
2. Do something like rapid window switching or playing with an XWayland application like VirtualBox
3. After a while, the panel will crash.

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel does not restart on its own like in previous versions.

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel should start on its own again, otherwise without a terminal already open or an app that can bring up the terminal (eg. Dolphin or Kate) you are pretty much stuck without a shell.

Note that this won't happen on most distros, it's Fedora opting into something prematurely.
