--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Sorry this happened. In Plasma 5.27 we implemented a new system for mapping
Plasma desktops and panels to screens that is fundamentally more correct by
design, and as a result much more robust. We also added code to migrate old
settings to this new system. Unfortunately, due to the non-determinism baked
into the old system, the migration code works better the simpler your
arrangement of screens, desktops, and panels was. For complex arrangements,
we've seen a few reports that sometimes panels or desktops are swapped or
missing, as a result of the old settings being in an inconsistent state at the
moment of migration, and thereafter the new system doesn't work perfectly

We do have a UI to recover missing desktops in the form of the "Manage Desktops
and Panels" window, which should let people manually restore their old setup.
Can you find your missing widgets in there? If you can, and you can recover
them? Can you see if this fixes the issue once and for all and they never get
lost again?
