Created attachment 162274 [details] panel and widgets I have three panels, which are all set with the following properties: * Windows can cover * Float * Adaptive opacity One is on the bottom as a dock, the second on the top left, and the third on the top right. The bottom one is aligned to the center, the top left one on the left, and the top right one to the right. The top right panel appears to crash sometimes. It contains the systray and "Window buttons", no other widgets. It reappears when I issue the command `plasmashell --replace` I am on Wayland. Operating System: Garuda Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.5.6-zen2-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 7,4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520 Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP EliteBook 820 G3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I suspect this could be caused by the third party "Window buttons" applet: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons/issues/207 I will try to reproduce the crash and read the backlog.
This is my backlog https://paste.ee/p/7X9EV I cannot see any crashes in it
Panels can't crash; all of Plasma can though. When you say the panel crashes, do you mean that it disappears, but other panels remain visible? Does it stop happening if you remove the 3rd-party widget from it?
Hi Nate :-) Yes, the panel disappears and all the others stay alive. I suspected it might not crash, but I did lack the term to describe it otherwise. So what could be the issue for it disappearing? I will try to test to run the third party widget in a dedicated panel, it could take a while, though.
I got it to disappear on its own. It seems highly likely, to be caused by this application. I guess by that, its up to the widget?
I think this is yet another issue, that only happens with "windows can cover" Lots of issues appear only with this setting, I suspect it has not been updated yet to work with Wayland.
I'm afraid the "Windows Can Cover" Panel visibility mode has been removed for Plasma 6 and we aren't planning to bring it back. In its place, we plan to implement an "intelligent auto-hide" or "dodge windows" mode, per Bug 349785. This should hopefully be much better than "Windows Can Cover" ever was, and offer support for its use cases. Thanks for your understanding!
Ah, that explains why lots of issues occur with that setting. Did I miss the announcement about that deprecation? I could have saved a bit of time, if I new that is effectively EOL. Thanks a lot!
Consider this the announcement. :) The decision was made only very recently. It's not going to be removed for Plasma 5, only Plasma 6, which will be released in 4 months.
So in Plasma5, it will remain broken?
Yeah.
