            Bug ID: 421304
           Summary: Plasma panel stops updating at some point
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.18.4
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Panel
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: andy...@mail.ru
  Target Milestone: 1.0

At some seemingly random points in time Plasma panel stops updating. The last
drawn panel contents stay frozen until I interact with the panel - for example,
right click on it or launch an application through an icon on the panel. At
that point of interaction a single update is made and the panel freezes again.

I can see that applets continue to function while the panel is frozen. E.g. CPU
load monitor shows a graph with proper CPU load history when the panel is
redrawn.

I do not have any fixed steps to reproduce the problem. It just happens by
itself, while the PC is idle or while it's doing some work. I don't log out or
lock the screen or put the PC to sleep or hibernate or switch to a VT - the PC
stays logged in, with Plasma desktop active for the whole time.

I can "fix" the problem by killing and restarting plasmashell. After that the
panel starts updating again.
