Description Lua 2020-05-27 18:01:17 UTC

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the taskbar to "icons-only task manager" (I have only two icons pinned, don't know if this makes a difference)
2. Restart the computer
3. Login
4. Look at the taskbar

OBSERVED RESULT
The clock and systray icons are momentarily going to be misaligned at the left of the screen. After a millisecond or so, the systray and clock goes to the right of the screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
Correct spacing between systray and clock and the taskbar items.

Is this really a problem? It is a part of booting process, elements are loaded and starts in parallel, it takes only fraction of second. At the end all elements are there correctly placed.

It depends. KDE emphasizes animations a lot, so this looks a bit unpolished

Also, a thing that I forgot to mention is that sometimes the notifications appear in the left side of the screen ("connection activated", for example). Today a notification appeared at the left side and didn't move to the right.
