SUMMARY
Changing Analogue Clock widget to Binary Clock via Show Alternatives, and then switching back results in the background remaining and in a buggy state. This remaining background can't be removed through conventional means and can only be done by logging-out or rebooting. A 'ghost' of the analogue clock still remains as well but that can be removed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add Analogue Clock Widget
2. Right-click > Show Alternatives > Binary Clock
3. Right-click > Show Alternatives > Analogue Clock
4. [Optional] Try removing the Analogue Clock Widget, moving around the remaining background and trying to delete it.

OBSERVED RESULT
 This remaining background of the Binary Clock can't be removed through conventional means. A 'ghost' of the Analogue Clock still remains as well but that can be removed.

EXPECTED RESULT
No remaining background, and not 'ghost' of Analogue Clock

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Kinoite 41.20241007.n.0 [Fedora Kinoite 41 Beta]
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Further testing has shown that when there are two buggy backgrounds present, a small analogue clock is created. Particularly amusing, but still another headache. At least it can be removed through conventional means.

After updating to Plasma 6.2 Stable. I can confirm that this issue persists.

Curious. I cannot reproduce the issue when I follow what you're doing in your screen recording exactly.

Welp, time to try it in a VM :/
It's not like the logs were helpful either.

I'm also not able to reproduce this on git-master
Comment 5 Muelsyse 2024-10-11 01:21:04 UTC
In a Fedora Kinoite 41.20241010.n.0 VM, I can confirm this issue persists but with slightly different behavior. The small empty background can be deleted but the ghost of the Analogue Clock remains.
