Qubes Domains.py Widget Seems Wedged

I'm seeing an oddity with this widget. At random, some VMs show the update indicator as continuously spinning. It appears to show a VM always starting, but qvm-ls in dom0 shows the VM as started. In a nutshell, the widget seems to be unsure of the VM's state.

Anyone else seeing this? Is there a workaround/fix I can try?

Oh, I am running Qubes 4.0.

Yes, see https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3660. A workaround
is to use command line or Qube Manager instead if needed.

ya but then the qubes manager is in scrambled order and you have to keep refreshing it. If people just keep killing them will it corrupt data?

Sort of like a red flag to me too when thats happening.

I'm confirming this bug. I'm also running Q4.0. It seems to me the
widget thinks at times that the VM is stuck, showing an endless
"loading" circle, and showing the logs and kill buttons, instead of the
shutdown button.
