KDE crashes while trying to wake from suspension

General Bug

Hello folks, hope you are doing well.

I have a specific kind of crash and I want to see if someone has it on other distros and machines, to know if its something specific to my distro or my pc or if its something everyone experiences on KDE itself.

I run Bazzite (used to be Aurora, but I had to rebase because of kernel panics happening constantly after a specific update) in my laptop and use a second monitor with it.

It's a Dell Inspiron with an 8th gen i5, 8gb ram, SSD, running its own 15'6 screen in 1366x768 and a second LG monitor 22", Full HD, out of its HDMI port.

What happens is: once it suspends by itself or by command, most of the times it comes back KDE will crash and reset, which bugs the sizes of the windows that are opened and makes me have to redistribute them again. Sometimes, it crashed all the windows, but it hasn't happened at least since a few updates ago.

Is it normal/expected in a multi-screen setup? Not that it is a huge deal, but it is annoying when I have multiple windows opened and already placed and this happens over an automatic suspension because I got up to grab a coffee or go to the bathroom.

I like having automatic suspension working and saving energy, so blocking it just so that KDE doesn't mess with my windows wouldn't be my first option.
