Example of Replicating the Freezing Taskbar Defect
SUMMARY
When this occurs, the Plasma panel becomes unresponsive. It no longer updates
its information, including taskbar icon animations and hover states.
Neither the task manager nor the system clock updates (and one keeps thinking
"ok, it's 16:30" when really it's 18:00).
I use the following commands to restart the plasma shell, which fixes the
issue:
```
kquitapp5 plasmashell
kstart5 plasmashell
```
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
See attached video for an example.
1. Install Firefox.
2. Put it in the taskbar panel as an icon.
3. Move the mouse over Firefox in taskbar.
4. Immediately click, and do not move the mouse off the icon while the
application loads.
OBSERVED RESULT
The panel freezes, mostly obviously in the fact that the Firefox icon will have
a green loading spinner that is not moving. The clock will also not update,
which is a serious issue as noted above.
EXPECTED RESULT
The panel does not freeze.
