SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: NixOS 24.05 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.6.31 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 30.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Panel refresh rate: 175 HZ ## ADDITIONAL INFO Working on setting up gdb to get get a stack trace if I can. Submitting this so I don't forget to do that.
Small update: it does not seem to get stuck permanently. So it seems to recover without me seeing any pattern to it.
Okay, I have found one underlying issue: Whenever an application has a new notification, the panel will not go away. I think this is probably partly intended, but right now it is just not practical for me. My ideas to resolve this: - make it pop up for a bit and then retract - show a small visual indicator of a new notification instead of the whole panel. Maybe an orange glow at the location of the app that wants to show a new notification instead of the whole panel. Similar to the blue glow you get when moving the cursor near a collapsed panel. Or maybe the top edge of the app icon creeping onto the screen a bit. - combination of the above I now think the panel getting stuck collapsed was probably related to the stability issues I have been reporting.
This is in fact intentional, yes. However it's disable-able; if you don't like the behavior, go to the Task Manager settings window > "Behavior" page > uncheck "When panel is hidden: Unhide when a window wants attention.
Thank you.
