Me neither. Let's call it fixed. If it happens again in Plasma 5.17 or 5.18,
please re-open.

No, I don't think so. Plasma 4 and 5 don't use the same config files and don't
really migrate desktop settings. Folder View in 4 and 5 are also completely
different codebases.

Can the problem be caused by leftovers from KDE4 configuration. I just updated
my system from KDE4 to Plasma5 at one point.

I also thought it should not. But it was. When I placed all the icons nicely on
the desktop this changed a certain section in above mentioned file. Then I made
it read-only. After rebooting the icons where at the old position again and the
file had a time stamp saying it had been changed at startup time. What I wonder
about, where does the system get the old positions from?

Do I get this right, not being able to place icons on the desktop freely is
regarded a feature not a bug? But why their position is recorded in
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc? And why this file gets
overwritten each time when rebooting? And last but not least, is there any hope
this will be regarded a bug in the future and get fixed? Would love to have a
working desktop again.

I'm using Chakra Linux with Plama 5.9.5. And desktop is set to folder-view.

may be folder view will be more useful if doing the three things it does, it
also could:
- Serve as the desktop surface itself (Desktop Settings -> switch Layout to
Folder View) 
---show the files in a list (as detailed view as in a file manager) so the long
named files can be read easily
- Act as a widget on top of the desktop surface
---show the files in a list (as detailed view as in a file manager) so the long
named files can be read easily
---have the possibility to place icons where the user want.
---have an horizontal scrollbar in the case icons are placed by the user where
are not visible
many thanks, ciao, pier :-)

I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed. When KDE4 was still available the folder widget
definitely allowed the user to move and place icons manually in any order. This
included snap to grid. As of now, we have to delete all of the icons from the
widget and use the "first come first serve method" to place our preferred
icons.

It worked perfectly in KDE4 until Plasma 5 ripped out all of the features.
Please bring them back.
Will this be another *wontfix* issue?

We only want to arrange the icons in an personally useful way inside of the
widget. 
I agree
