STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. suspend (e.g. close laptop lid, or put to sleep with KDE logout/suspend
3. resume system in normal way ( open laptop lid, or whatever it is)

OBSERVED RESULT
desktop restores as normal, but in a few seconds the menu/ panel crashes and does not recover.

EXPECTED RESULT
panel/menu should not crash.
should optionally  launch systemsettings so we can configure monitors to new situation if wanted.

Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2023-06-13 09:33:50 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.4 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.24.4, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
