Description Mike Lothian 2015-12-07 21:15:04 UTC
Hi

I notice whenever I load a game that changes the screen resolution that the widgets are resized to fit the new screen, even if this only last for a few seconds whilst I change the resolution in the settings

It would be nice when I set it back to my native resolution if my widgets would go back where they were too

Currently I have to unlock them, click and hold (took me a wee while to notice that change despite the pop up) resize - which generally involves me having to move the widget down, resize, and replace it again

It's all a bit awkward

I guess this is several wishes in one bug, can we get plasma to remember different placements at least for the current session 

Perhaps permanently for people who switch between different screens

Add a button that allows you to resize & move widgets like normal windows until it's reclicked and locked again

Reproducible: Always
