video showing the bug

Please see the attached video.

In the video, you can see that when the mouse cursor approaches the folder's popup button (small circle), the button disappears. This bug happens when the following conditions are met:
1. Desktop is set to "Folder View".
2. There is a folder icon positioned in the top-left grid slot on the desktop.
3. There is a "screen edge" action assigned to the top-left screen corner.

** My System **
OS: KDE Neon 5.8.5 64-bit (Plasma Desktop 5.8.5, KDE Frameworks 5.29.0, Qt 5.7.0)
Linux Kernel: 4.4.0.57-generic

That's the place where the desktop toolbox would be. (if I disable it in settings it works for me but no idea why it's invisible on your machine).

My desktop containment is on the right side of the screen (not captured in the video capture region). I am re-opening this bug, since it is not the desktop toolbox that is causing the problem, but instead the hotspot for the top-left screen edge action.

This was fixed a while ago.
