Kernel Version: 6.1.14-200.fc37.x86_64 (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Looks like a regression from 5.27.2 has this used to work a couple of days ago (I use that functionality almost daily).
Comment 1 Timothée Ravier 2023-03-09 09:19:32 UTC
Looks like the plasma-kded service crashed and restarting it did the trick:

```
systemctl --user restart plasma-kded.service
```

Sorry for the noise. Will file another bug for the crash.
