Screenshot illustrating current situation.

In the attached screenshot, we see that the parts of icons that are partially out of the view are unceremoniously cut off before reaching the edge. This would look much better with some sort of fade effect for the cut off icons. 

The issue doesn't arise in applications like Dolphin because they have a well defined border around the area where files are displayed. This doesn't work for the folder view plasmoid, as the border is some invisible line.

That, or an actual frame indicating the bounds of the scrollview.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-04-09 19:57:56 UTC
This has been fixed by porting it to a more modern scroll view implementation for Plasma 5.27.
