System tray flyout is not working but the clock flyout does

SUMMARY
The control panel sometimes doesnt open the "flyout" widgets such as the launch menu and the right hand system tray.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have no idea how do reproduce it reliably. Just click on the control panel icons that have menus or widgets flying out many times and it will trigger soon.
 

OBSERVED RESULT
The menus do not fly out as intended

EXPECTED RESULT
The menus should fly out as expected. It only works with the clock at the very right of the control panel. Launcher and system tray do not work.

I actually manage to record myself triggering the bug. After a lot of brute forcing the launcher widget, the flyout just stops working. The same behavior happens with other widgets including the system tray.

No widget flyout working anymore

It is now happening with all widgets in the control panel.

Anything in the journal that seems related?

This is the latest journalctl output after restarting the plasmashell with "kquitapp6 plasmashell" and "kstart plasmashell" and triggering the same bug again:
