Thanks for the bug report. I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. It may be dependent on the panel size. 

Does this still happen on Plasma 6.5.3 or later?
If it does, what is the size of the panel in question?

Thanks.

I will try, as soon as I have Plasma 6.5.3 installed.

BTW, this does not occur, when the panel-clock displays seconds. I guess in this case the refreshing of the clock, leads to a panel-update every second too.
