Bug ID: 479310
Summary: Default panel in Plasma 6 does not have a panel spacer
between Icon Only Task Manager and System Tray
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.91.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel

video showing default panel widgets jump around as applications close
SUMMARY
When creating a new default panel (and I'm assuming the same for a new user),
the new panel has:
- Application Launcher
- Desktop Pager
- Icon Only Task Manager
- Margin Separator
- System Tray
- Clock
- Show Desktop
Its default configuration is to be Centered and Fill Width.
Because the it fills the width of the window, and the Icon Only Task Manager is
very narrow, especially if there aren't many apps running, then on a wide
screen, the other widgets will get evenly spaced on the very wide and empty
panel, until there are some applications running - but when applications launch
and get removed, the widgets move around.
This can be also reproduced with the Task Manager (not "Icons Only"). See
attached video.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Remove all panels and create a default panel.
2. Launch some applications.
3. Close some applications.
OBSERVED RESULT
The fixed widgets on the panel move around when applications open and close.
EXPECTED RESULT
The space between the last task in the task manager list and the system tray or
its margin separator should shrink and expand as needed, while keeping
everything else in the same location.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The workaround is quite simple - go into edit more, click "Add Spacer" in the
Panel Settings dialog, and drag it between the task manager and the margin
separator. I just shouldn't have needed to do that.
