Description Robby Engelmann 2011-01-22 10:59:12 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.95) 
OS:                Linux

The Cashew icon is placed in the upper right corner by default. I have my panel on the upper screen edge. Thus, cashew on its standard position is annoying and I place it left or right lower corner. After stopping und restarting an activity the cashew is placed back to the upper right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-start an activity
-replace cashew to a place other than upper right
-stop activity
-start it again


Actual Results:  
--> cashew is placed back to upper right

Expected Results:  
cashew location should be remembered

Comment 1 S.Trzmiel 2011-03-13 15:19:48 UTC

I can confirm this behaviour, in fact proper steps to reproduce the problem are:

With morew than 1 activitiy created.
   1. move cashew to non-default location (bottom corners, left-side corners...)
   2. lock the desktop settings
   3. stop activity
   4. start activity.

Now cashew will be back to top-right corner.
With desktop settings unlocekd cashew stays in place when activity is resumed.

Comment 2 Simon Friis 2011-05-16 12:11:07 UTC

I can reproduce this behaviour in KDE 4.6.3 following Trzmiels steps.

Comment 3 Gregor Tätzner 2011-12-03 12:29:32 UTC

I can confirm it too (KDE 4.7.3). lowering priority

Comment 4 Robby Engelmann 2012-05-22 12:15:05 UTC

still valid for 4.8.3

Would you mind sharing how you reproduced this? I just tried to and it seems to be working just fine here. I'm running KDE 4.8.3 as well.

I see, one point was missing, here an update:

Steps to Reproduce: 
-start an activity 
-replace cashew to a place other than upper right (for that unlock widgets)
-lock widgets <-- (this was missing, as for leaving widgets unlocked it also worked for me)
-stop activity 
-start it again 

Actual Results: --> cashew is placed back to upper right 
Expected Results: cashew location should be remembered

That indeed works as described.
