I do not know what is going on, but I'm getting the same plasma widget after reboot my plasma/linux. 
Annoying so much! 

   How I can fix that? I tried everything to fix that, but unsuccessfully. 
What information type I should give?

I found the issue. A file which have content about plasma widget does not takes any change. 

Config file "~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc"

Can you confirm that you are shutting down properly and just typing "sudo reboot"

"Doas reboot" makes that same result like shutting down in menu. Widget still exists /;

###UPDATE

That also happens on Wayland session. Widget after deleting is changing the width and height.

Comment 7 Karol 2022-11-20 10:41:51 UTC
### UPDATE 
Deleting  ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc do not fix the problem. 

### RESULT:
File plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc do not take full change after delete widget form desktop level.

### STEP TO REPRODUCE:
Change protocol of deleting information from plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

###WHAT I TRIED TO FIX?
Changing chmod to file
Sign user to sddm group 
Deleting widget from text, and restart sddm (works well, but annoying)

If you delete ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, I assume it's regenerated, right?

Or are you saying that the problem happens when this file does not exist?

Finally, can you upgrade to Plasma 5.27.4 and try again?
