Description Patrick Auernig 2015-06-25 12:03:06 UTC 
When a new (autoloaded?) system tray icon appears, like the media player control or bluetooth, other widgets on the right side get pushed out of the panel.

Because of my setup, it could also be an issue with the flexible spacer.
I had this problem on 2 different machines now, both using the same kind of setup.

I'm using a top panel with following widgets from left to right:
Application Launcher
Spacer (fixed size)
Digital Clock (centered with spacer)
Spacer (flexible size)
System tray
System Load Viewer
Pager

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE Plasma
2. Start a music player that uses the media player controls, like cantata or VLC

Actual Results:  
Widget gets pushed out, some widgets are inaccessible or only partially usable

Expected Results:  
Plasma keeps everything inside the panel

System: Arch Linux x86_64
Graphics: Intel HD4400

Are you talking about digital clock?

The pager is the one that gets pushed out of the panel.
There should be 4 virtual desktops displayed.
