the heck Just got back to X11 to check something, and it happens there as well. Are you able to reproduce this in Plasma 5.27 at all? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Are you able to reproduce this in Plasma 5.27 at all? I still have this issue after restarting the shell (`systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service`). Changing the primary display (to an external screen and back) fixes it, the same as getting into edit mode and changing switching display configurations: I've been going to the office a lot more lately - which involves changing the display configurations a few times a day, and not restarting plasmashell too often - as I'm not on the development branch anymore, so this problem had been bothering me a lot less, but I can still repro it.

How bizarre. I'm at a loss regarding how this would be happening, and why changing the display layout fixes it. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > How bizarre.

Changing on which screen the panel appears (the primary screen) did fix the problem. The other screen is in a vertical orientation so the size of the panel actually changes. I can reproduce the problem using plasma-desktop built from git master using kdesrc-build, and in this setup - changing the primary screen does not solve the problem - on the vertical screen the display is still messed up and when setting it back to the laptop's built-in screen it is also messed up.

I can no longer reproduce the problem, after I messed around with manually editing the configuration in the ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file, several restarts and org.kde.plasma.systemtray rewriting its configuration - it now looks fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. I can't figure out anything significant that has changed - comparing the old configuration to the new one (I keep backups), the only thing changed around the panel's configuration is that I kicked the org.kde.plasma.systemtray configuration by changing its `SystrayContainmentId` value to something that was obviously incorrect and so it regenerated the `org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray` containment with a new (yet unused) ID. I see no other noticeable changes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 482098 *** |
