Version: 4.1.85 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources When I attempt to move icons on the KDE 4.2 BETA 2 desktop they seem to occasionally snap to only the upper left hand quadrant of the screen. I folder-as-desktop mode icons seem to migrate toward the abosolute top row of the screen.
Are you talking about the icon widget? Or icons in folderview? they are different. Just asking to know if we can assign this bug to folderview.
The upper left quadrant issue involves the non-folderview desktop. The icons migrating to the top involves folderview. Should I open a separate bug for each?
In addition, I don't know if this is helpful but on the non-folderview issue, removing ~/.kde (I assume the plasma configs) and starting over.
Sorry to keep up the notes, but the platform is incorrect. I am using the RPMs from the kde-redhat project for 4.1.85.
"they seem to occasionally snap to only the upper left hand quadrant of the screen." do you mean that when you move them they move back to the top left? did this happen after a screen resolution change? "folder-as-desktop mode icons seem to migrate toward the abosolute top row of the screen." there's another bug report for this already open.

For resizable plasmoids (folder views), I can resize them into this area just not move them there. This does not occur all the time.
did this happen after a screen resolution change?

I had the same bug when I switched from a folderview containment back to the normal desktop containment. The latter would put all plasmoids into the top-left corner of the desktop, which is why I had to re-arrange them. However I also added a second panel (vertical) before switching containments, which I moved from the right to the left side, which might have played some role. After I logged out and back in, it did work again. And for me it was not the way that the plasmoids moved to the upper-left right after I placed them somewhere else. Yet if my mouse cursor hovered the upper-left corner to get another plasmoid and put it somewhere else, the one I moved before, moved back. They did not overlap, but where somehow arranged, as if they would be in some invisible containment that tried its best to make them fit.
I am also experiencing this issue. My set-up is a dual-head display. I am using the OS radeon driver and xrandr to set-up the dual-head display. All plasmoids gather at the top left corner on a given screen. I've seen this occur right off the bat after logging in and also after changing from folder-view to desktop. I should make note that when I login, the xrandr command is run via Autostart. Right at this moment, I have the pages plasmoid overlapping the RSSNOW plasmoid with the kate, konqueror and konsole plasmoids below them, not overlapping. My system is a Fedora 10 x86_64 running KDE 4.2.1 from the Fedora repository. I believe this is new to KDE 4.2.x as I don't remember seeing it in KDE 4.1.x. Logging out and back in will sometimes correct the issue until something triggers it again. I believe I have triggered the issue by adding/removing plasmoids before.
@Craig Magina: I think you are talking about widgets (rssnow , taskbar) instead of normal icons. If this is correct please open a new bug report, also include screenshots. Thanks @To everyone else: any news on this? Has the original reporter experienced this bug again with an updated KDE version ? Thanks
Created attachment 36455 [details] Screenshot before logout If I understood this bug that is also happening with me. Follow before/after logout/login screenshots of my desktop showing this problem. This picture show desktop icons in its original position.
Created attachment 36456 [details] Screenshot after logout and login This screenshot of my desktop after I logout and login. All icons on desktop move up. One of them go behind panel that exists on top. And a vertical roll bar appers on the right of screen.
I wonder if the last problem could be also related to bug 199028. Thanks
this is fixed since long time
