Description

### What Happened?

Hey there!

I'm just getting into Linux, and this is my first install and I'm absolutely loving it!

Only problem so far I've noticed that makes things difficult is clicking on the Date and Time widget on the top wingpanel seems to completely crash the whole wingpanel - though after a while it seems to continue to respond?

### Steps to Reproduce

It's a little hard to reproduce, it seems I need to have a completely fresh powering on and off again to reproduce the issue. Aside from that it's very simple.
1. Click on date and time.
2. Dialog box that says "wingpanel has stopped responding" and options "force quit" or "wait", I selected "wait" and it seems to heal itself, but it is a little devious in that it does completely stop responding for a while (so no clicking settings buttons or any other widgets on the bar!), which at first made me panic and completely power off and on my computer!

### Expected Behavior

Ideally, I think that it ought to not crash haha, but of course it's a whole OS so things are complicated!!

### OS Version

6.x (Odin)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

_No response_

Here's a sc from my hardware displayed in system settings.
