Example of wierd panel.

I have created a new window rule to remember my window positions. The only settings in the rule are that the rule applies to normal windows, and to remember the last position of windows. This causes system panels to appear in wierd places, like the application launcher or the other system tray icons panel. See attached example.

Happens in Kubuntu 18.04.

Are you sure your rules detect only the type of windows that you are interested in? If unsure, attach ~/.config/kwinrulesrc file.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2018-06-06 04:24:03 UTC
Plasma panel extenders all look the same from window manager perspective. So it picks up the last position where you had a panel tooltip for example.
