Bug ID: 484391
Summary: Digital clock causes applets in system tray jitter
back and forth
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock

Applet Layout
SUMMARY
The clock does not use a fixed width font nor does the size it takes up fixed.
As a result, the space it takes up changes every second. If it is on the right
side of a bottom panel, the applet icons in the system tray will jitter back
and forth as the seconds tick by. Once you see it, you can't unsee it and it
is quite annoying. See attachment for my current layout.
It seems at some point that the clock was set to a fixed width in KDE5. This
fix should be brought back to KDE6.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add digital clock to the right of the system tray sitting at the bottom of
the screen
2. Set clock to display seconds
OBSERVED RESULT
Applet icons in the System tray will jitter back and forth. Especially
noticable when seconds tick over from 0 to 1.
EXPECTED RESULT
The time changing should not cause the applet icons next to it to move.
