I noticed it can happen not long after dragging a Window List icon to
reorder, but I've also seen it happen many times randomly when I was
doing something unrelated to the panel.
I saw this same behaviour under both stretch (1.16.2-1) and buster
(v1.20.5-1).
I think it would be worth fixing this, as it could be uploaded to
stretch-backports and potentially buster. I am prepared to help with
the latter, e.g. apply for an exception to the freeze.
