I have a small issue with plasma dashboard viewer. See attachment for more.
I think he didn't refresh the view if I moved a widget before?

are you using the "separate dashboard" feature?

Comment 3 sts 2009-07-05 11:04:47 UTC

now I don't use it.

crazy thing.. today I start my kde and I can see now two folders. like in the screenshot. Yesterday I saw only one. I don't know what happens :)

You can close this bug, if it doesn't help you. Maybe I can reproduce it another time.

Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-07-05 11:15:02 UTC

i'd like to know how to reproduce it before closing it :)

what's evident is that there are two different folderview widgets in that screenshot. the Air circles aren't in the same place, so it's certainly not the same widget misdrawing.

Comment 5 sts 2009-07-05 11:33:30 UTC

I'm not sure it the same issue. Now play with my folder again. Change some settings.. resize, move.. and: I click on the resize button and the folder was gone. hmh.. ok I zoom out and zoom in and now I found the folder (see new attachment) I've moved the widget in the middle and you can see it has the smallest possible width?

Comment 9 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-05-09 02:02:02 UTC

this is an artifact of having two windows showing, one for the desktop and one for the dashboard. window management confusion ensues. we need a new window role for this.

Works by now, at least for me in 4.7.3 and 4.8b1. Closing.
