Bug ID: 469544
Summary: Plasma panel stops rendering/updating during or after
playing a full-screen game
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Screenshot showing panel that hadn't visually refreshed
SUMMARY
***
At some point while playing a full-screen game, at least several parts of the
panel stopped refreshing. They are all still interactive - at least the ones
that are appropriately still showing - for example, clicking on my open browser
window minimizes it, clicking on the Notifications bell in the tray opens it,
etc. However, new task manager buttons aren't appearing, closed windows aren't
disappearing, and the visual contents of items aren't updating (e.g. the
browser button shows the window title as of when it froze, the
weather/memory/clock on the right are stuck.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run a full-screen game
2. Tab in and out of it
3. View panel
OBSERVED RESULT
Task manager buttons and panel icons/labels stop updating at a certain point
EXPECTED RESULT
Task manager buttons and panel icons/labels should continue updating, since the
underlying apps that feed them are still running and functional

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This sounds like this bug reoccurring again, so this may be an Nvidia issue,
however I'm on a hybrid laptop so theoretically the panel isn't rendering using
Nvidia but rather the integrated AMD graphics? (But maybe because the
full-screen game was using Nvidia, that threw it off somehow?)
Sorry if this is not an appropriate way to file this, please let me know what I
can do better! I'm attaching a screenshot (with the top part of my Firefox
window cropped out just due to having a bunch of tabs open there), but it was
about 2:55 PM my local time when I took that screenshot, and the game in the
Task Manager (Hades) had already been closed.
