Icon positioning bug when switching activities

Panel settings when bug occured

SUMMARY
When attempting to rearange the applications in the plasma panel, a dragged application will lose its spot when it's being moved past an application that's opened. Once all applications are closed, the icon will assume it's correct spot.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pin some applications to your panel
2. Open a couple of applications
3. Attempt to drag icons around, mixing apps that are opened and that aren't

OBSERVED RESULT
Upon releasing your mouse button, the dragged icon will jump to a different spot on the panel

EXPECTED RESULT
The icon will stay in the spot desired by the user.

Are all of the open applications you're trying to move pinned to the Task manager? Or are any of them not pinned?
Comment 3 Chase Lau 2022-05-22 14:56:09 UTC
All of the icons are pinned. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are pinned or not.

Sounds like a duplicate of bug 454105.

Icon positioning bug when switching activities

This has not been fixed in the latest plasma (5.23.3). Looking again, I think it could be an issue with arranging icons when switching activities. When I rearrange the icons in an activity, the other activity gets rearranged in such a way where icons that are present in both activities get grouped in the leftmost positions. I've attached another video demonstrating this.

1. Plasma 5.23.3 is not the latest Plasma; you want 5.25.
2. Anyway, the issue you're reporting is different from this one this is about. If the issue reproduces with Plasma 5.25, please file a new bug report.
