Description David 2007-12-15 19:11:33 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.97.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

Adding a plasmoid into the pannel changes it in weird ways (size, position of the pannel and sometimes makes parts of the pannel white).
Also, some plasmoids appear off the pannel and are invisible and some appear very small.
Managing the plasmoids on the panel is very buggy.

I can confirm this. svn checkout 19.12.07

I can also confirm this
Comment 5 premierSullivan 2007-12-21 00:29:56 UTC 
If you reload plasma it works correctly, although usually the applet doesn't appear just where I want it, but rather on one of the ends.
Comment 6 Jason Stubbs 2007-12-22 07:57:19 UTC 
This is fixed with http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=751541
Some applets don't support being in the panel correctly in which the panel's size will grow, but removing the applet should bring the panel's size back to normal. Also some applets (such as the digital clock) seem to be preventing the panel from decreasing in size again but that is the fault of the individual applets.

I'll go through and fix what I can, but please file bugs for individual applets when you find issues.

Going to reopen this one as I'm sure the interested parties are already CC'd. ;)
That and it's still not 100%, although much better...

In RC2+ I am not able to modify panel in any way (KDE4Live).
Comment 9 Jason Stubbs 2007-12-23 11:34:51 UTC 
In current subversion, right clicking widgets and closing from the submenu works. Dragging widgets from the add-widgets dialog to the panel (including the unused area of the tasks applet) also works.

The only major issue is that widgets appear at the end regardless of where you added them and don't always come back in the same order on the next login.

SVN commit 752356 by jstubbs:

Add the applet to the panel at the division (between applets or edge of
screen) closest to where the applet was dropped to.

Comment 11 Dotan Cohen 2008-07-13 20:42:19 UTC 
In KDE 4.1 beta2 there is still no way to reorder applets on the panel, nor a way to add new applets to any place other than the end.
Comment 12 Luca Beltrame 2008-07-13 21:30:17 UTC 
The ability to move appplets on the panel has been in just before RC1 tagging.
