Is there anyway to kept restarting broken plugin without removing?

Hello, I have xfce4-global-menu plugin, but sometimes it kept restarting, which show a pop up either to restart or to remove. Is there anyway to kept restarting the plugin? Or allowing it to crash more than one? Is there settings for it? Thank you

Hello.
Which Linux distro you're using?

Right now I'm on Debian and for me, the plugin is working just fine. This might be an issue with newer versions of it. Maybe you should bug report (with debug logs, if possible). If a plugin crashes normally it will ask the user to remove and there isn't any way to turn this off. Since most likely either the plugin is buggy or configuration issue (e.g. if it can't contact with dbus).

I'm not sure what it could be if you're on *BSD. I'm less familiar with *BSD variants.

Fedora. I'm on Fedora. It only affect Electron based software (VS Code). I rebuild/build the code from scratch, seems fine for now. The VS Code try to redraw the menu for multiple times, I don't know what cause that. I will report if it's kept continuing.

So there are no way to restart it without bothering me then?
