Summary: Certain notifications freeze plasma

Certain types of notifications cause plasmashell to use 100% of a CPU and stop
responding.
I can reproduce it consistently using desktop notes, But I've also seen this
happen inconsistently with various other notifications, as well.
To reproduce:
1. Create a note on the desktop, by middle clicking on it. (I use the icon
view, if it is relevant.)
2. Right-click on the tool icon, and select close.
3.The note closes, and the outline of a notification (but not the actual
notification) appears on the task bar. (See attachment, containing a screen
shot of the bottom right of my screen.) Plasmashell is now using up 100% of a
CPU.
Restarting plasmashell will unfreeze it, but the closed note will reappear. To
really close the note, I have to go to the system tray settings and select not
to show notifications.
This has been happening for quite some time now, both in openSUSE Tumbleweed,
which I am using right now, and in the last few versions of Fedora (25 and
earlier) that came with plasma 5, which I had been using before. The problem
seems to be related to bug #356479, except that that bug was supposed to happen
only with Intel GPUs. (I am currently using an nVidia GT 730 card with the
latest driver from nVidia. The problem also used to appear with my older 9600
card and the legacy nVidia driver.)
I am using auto-hide for the task bar, but the problem persists even if I
switch it to being always visible.
