SUMMARY Have looked round for an issue on this, but couldn't find anything that looks immediately like a duplicate, so filing. Dragging (docked) application menu bars between monitors in a multi-monitor environment seems to cause at least part of the plasma shell to hang. This is a 100% repro for me. Given nothing actually seems to crash I don't have much in the way of crash dumps to provide, however I am also not running a debug system. Its quite annoying, because my Wayland experience is actually really damn good apart from this (cudos to the devs). STEPS TO REPRODUCE In a multimonitor system under Wayland after sorting out some monitor issues after first boot into Wayland, I ended up with application menu bars on the wrong monitor (I have a seperate one for each monitor, auto-hidden at the bottom of each monitor) I right clicked 'enter edit mode' on the menu bar, and attempted to drag it from one monitor to another. As you drag it it attempts to attach itself to any screen edges you come close to. After about two of these events, the taskbar will disappear. The edit mode menu at the top of the screen remains, but is non-functional. If you can at this point get out of edit mode (alt-tab) then you can return to the desktop, but no panels will be rendered, and it would appear that parts of the plasmashell are non-responsive. Usually after this SDDM will not shut down properly and have to be killed on shutdown. Rebooting normally restores all panels, however the one that was being dragged can occasionally get destroyed completely and have to be re-made. OBSERVED RESULT All Panels no longer rendered. EXPECTED RESULT Able to drag task bars between monitors.

Can you try again in Plasma 5.25? A bunch of panel and multimonitor code was changed in that release. Thanks!

I am still awaiting 2.25 to come downstream to my distro. I still fully intend to re-test this, but not able to so far.
