thank you for your response, and sorry for the poor quality info. i wonder how i might have searched for that patch being applied to debian.
i would like to add a piece of info that had originally bolstered my idea that it was libqt5gui5: at the time of the panel crash this line was written in the logs kernel: traps: *lxqt-panel*[27936] general protection fault ip:7f0c3f93f300 sp:7ffd43edba18 error:0 in* libQt5Gui.so.5.15.2* (deleted)[7f0c3f8e2000+4d0000] i believe at that time *libQt5Gui.so.5.15.2* was switched to libQt5Gui.so.5.15.4 (my guess) -- and that is also when the problem began. since qt 5.15.2 version was also referenced in the bug that i found i thought there was a reasonable chance it was related. let me know if there is anything more i can provide. i am more or less an advanced user.
