Bug ID: 506638
Summary: With always-visible left screen edge panel, restarting
plasmashell sometimes makes each row shift a number of
columns to the left equal to that row's index
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.80
Reported In:
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: akse...@akselmo.dev, h...@kde.org
Blocks: 503500
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a left screen edge panel that's 50 px thick
2. Put a bunch of files on the desktop
3. Restart plasmashell using `systemctl restart --user
plasma-plasmashell.service` many times. I do this throughout the day as I test
Plasma merge requests
OBSERVED RESULT
Some of the time, each row of icons gets shifted one column to the left of the
row above it. For example:
- The first row (on top, index 0) does not shift
- The second row (below it, index 1) shifts one column to the left
- The third row (index 2) shifts two columns to the left
- Any icons that would overflow off the left edge of the desktop get relocated
to the first open position according to the alignment settings (e.g. with
default settings, right after the last icon on the first row)
See attached before and after pics that illustrate how this looks.
EXPECTED RESULT
All icons stay where they are no matter how many times plasmashell is restarted
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Probably a race condition somewhere, as it does not happen on *every*
plasmashell restart. I'd estimate that it happens maybe 20% of the time.
The screen is 2880x1800 and uses a 175% scale factor.
The issue reproduces on a single screen. I can't remember if it happens with
another screen plugged in and am not in a position to test that right now.
This has been happening at least for months, possibly longer.
