Hello, I have been using Manjaro with KDE plasma for about 2 years now.
The desktop constantly refreses - the bottom panel disappears, everything turns black and then desktop starts to load (background, widgets, desktop icons, task bar, etc) [maybe it will help but I see mouse all the time while the reload
One way to reproduce it:
I boot my system and log in, open firefox browser, move to second virtual desktop (shortcut on my setup: Ctrl + Meta + Left arrow), open notes (Meta + 2) → at this point the entire screen turns black except of the mouse and then loads.
This is not the only case when the problem happen, rarely the kde plasma won’t load at all and it also happens rarely also without changing to different virtual desktop
About 2 months ago I have been running testing branch and got this problem, so I have changed to stable and the problem has disappeared, but this problem started to happen on stable as well.
I have checked other forum questions but none of them looks connected to my issue.
here is log from running journalctl /usr/bin/plasmashell -f 2> plasmashell.log

The parts which mention that using GET on a local file is dangerous is most likely not connected to this issue as those logs are added there every second
Does anyone know what could be the problem, how to fix it, or what other information to provide?
Thanks in advance.
