Bug ID: 454906
Summary: Adding apps to the panel as widgets corrupt the
panel's layout.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.24.90
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: 1.0

Video of the panel widget bug. (Ignore the graphical glitches, as my *real*
panel is set to autohide.) This bug can occur on a fresh install too, I've
reproduced it in the KDE Neon Testing image too.
SUMMARY
Adding an application to Plasma's panel as a widget will corrupt/destroy the
layout of all widgets on the panel, on restarting Plasmashell or logging-out
and in, rendering it unusable until the panel is deleted. (A video of the bug
was attached as well. The bug will be reproduced on the top panel, I don't want
to nuke my working panel again...)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE (WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR PANEL.)
1. Open Kickoff.
2. Right click on any application.
3. Select 'Add to Panel (Widget)'
4. Restart Plasmashell by logging out and back in (or running `kquitapp5
plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell > /dev/null 2>&1`)
5. Watch Plasma's panel load corrupted.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma's panel is corrupted; all widgets overlap one another to one corner (I'm
not sure if the direction is affected by the alignment settings).
EXPECTED RESULT
Widgets on Plasma's panel show normally.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm confident that this is a regression in the Plasma 5.25 Beta (5.24.90) as it
worked normally in 5.24.5. I've just upgraded yesterday (missed the Beta
Testing day...) and immediately after logging back in, this error occurred. I
can't remove the widget easily as I need to 'hover' over it first; that is
impossible as all widgets overlap one another. I cannot move the widgets on the
panel either, so I just removed the panel and started from scratch.
