Description David 2023-03-12 08:30:07 UTC

SUMMARY
In the previous sytem monitor (ksysguard) and in KDE widgets, the bars that indicate resource usage are filled from right to left, while in system monitor, they are sometimes filled in reverse order - that is, if there is a spike, the spike will first appear from the right of the bar, and move towards the left over time; but in the new system monitor it's the other way around some times.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch the system monitor.
2. Open a process that would consume a large amount of CPU resources.
3. Watch the CPU bar consumption.

OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes, it fills from right to left, sometimes from left to right, at times it disappears and then shows up again.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should always show them from right to left like it works in other places, and should keep showing them persistently.

Thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry we weren't able to get to it yet. There have been many bug fixes to System Monitor since this has been opened, as well as some design changes. On git-master, the main page and CPU page shows information in the graphs as I'd expect (left to right)

If you see any bugs with this in Plasma 6.3.4 or later, please open a new bug report.

Thanks again.
