For the last couple of weeks I've had a sticky note on my plasma desktop. This morning, I accidentally deleted it

When I went to put another back, the widget sits on the desktop and can be interacted with by long-clicking, but text cannot be typed into it, and a segmentation fault alert appears in notification area:
Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Segmentation fault

Hello 4L1V3

I can not reproduce your issue.
I can start one and more sticky note widgets, I can write text, I can discard a sticky note and undo the action without any issue.

kded5 5.83.0
plasmashell 5.22.3
qt5-base 5.15.2-7
side issue, have you tried xnots pretty simple to configure and works on all X
