Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-11-20 16:56:08 UTC 
Confirmed. Works fine with left column alignment, or either left or right row alignment, but not with right column alignment. Feels like it could be related to Bug 359783.
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2022-01-16 11:36:38 UTC 
Still an issue on neon unstable.

Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-04-09 22:53:08 UTC 
Can still reproduce the original issue with Folder View in 5.27 using the newer scroll view component.
Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2023-11-19 16:15:29 UTC 
It's still reproducible on Plasma 6 alpha, but not consistently.
Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2024-02-24 12:40:39 UTC 
Can reproduce often with these steps:

1. position the desktop icons on the right side, arranged from top to bottom
2. open some windows
3. minimize all windows using the buttons in the windows decorations, or the "Minimize all windows" widget placed on Plasma panel
or by pressing meta+d shortcut
4. tap any icon on desktop with the touchscreen

Result: nothing happens
