Upgrade KDE Wayland Spin 38->39 KDE Background Screen Issue

Upgrade KDE Wayland Spin 38->39 KDE Background Screen Issue

KDE Screen Issue (or Plasma issue, or...)

1) Login screen comes up and can login.
2)  KDE screen mix of colors and black... moving mouse and screen continues
   to redraw random colors (but, mostly black).
3) Bottom panel (in hide mode) comes up and looks normal. Top ToolBar
   is drawing like the screen (not normal) but I can tell its being drawn
   ontop of the screen background (different colors/black).
5) Firefox comes up rendering like normal.
6) Thunderbird asks for password and it comes up drawing like normal.
7) Using Mouse Right Button, menu come up (look normal) and can
8 "Open Terminal". Kconsole comes up like normal.
9) From Kconsole can launch alacritty multiple times all normal.
10) Background and ToolBar still not rendering correctly.
11) Can move mouse over ToolBar and popups appear. Can also click and
   launch/hide terminals, firefox, thunderbird when mouse if over their
   position in ToolBar.
12) I can render a jpeg photo in eog and it comes up just fine.

With Fedora 38 KDE Spin I did not have this issue with the background
or ToolBar.
So, has anyone seen this behavior?
Where do I start?

Thanks.
Richard

I'd suggest asking on the Fedora KDE list.

Where do I find "the Fedora KDE list"?

Yesterday morning when I logged in from the sleep-mode KDE screen (no shutdown/restart KDE
involved), the
KDE/Plasma background displayed correctly as well as the toolbar. This morning everything
is displaying
correctly also.
I did nothing to fix this....so, there is still something funky down in the graphic
display code but
it now takes a path that displays correctly.

There can be dependencies on the order in which devices (mostly display and
network) that are activated at boot get used, particularly if you switch
between linux and windows.   In my experience, drivers activated at boot
usually don't impact Windows, and problems in linux often go away over time
with updates to system firmware or linux drivers.   Sometimes drivers that
fail when linux is freshly booted (presumably with some remnants of the
"BIOS" driver's configuration) start working after waking from a sleep
cycle restarts the drivers.
