SUMMARY *** This is a (very) long standing bug, I just decided to report it because I see no progress between releases. I have two 4K monitors, on the primary I've the default panel on the bottom, on the second I created a simple panel with just the task manager. That panel almost always crashed, and when it doesn't crash it freezes becoming useless. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. two monitor setup (mine are 4K, I don't know if this important) 2. create a panel on the secondary screen with just a few widgets (i.e.: only taskmanager) 3. after a few minutes of usage the panel is not there anymore. Sometime it's there but frozen/useless When I want to fix things (for a few minutes) I usually kill plasmashell and run it again OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can you try to produce a backtrace when plasma actually crashes?
I've no notifications that plasma crashes: at a certain point I just notice that the panel on the second screen is gone. What can I do?
