Description Filip 2024-11-09 18:11:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Switching to alternative widget creates empty widgets

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add widget to desktop
2. Right click and select an alternative widget -> Empty widget is created
3. Do it again -> Sometimes those empty widgets can't be deleted (they're removed after reboot)

OBSERVED RESULT
Switching to alternative widget changes the widget, but also creates empty widget 

EXPECTED RESULT
Switching to alternative widget changes the widget, without creating additional empty widget

Cannot reproduce with those exact steps in git master; lets assume this means it's fixed in Plasma 6.3.0! However, if you can still experience the issue after upgrading that the release, please feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks!
