Description Christopher Hock 2023-04-17 12:17:29 UTC

SUMMARY
Recently when I have multiple Desktop Icons or Widgets I cannot place them freely across my Desktop. Rather they seem to be stuck in the upper 3rd of the desktop in rows of 2. When I try to put a third row under them a scrollbar appears at the right hand side of the screen and instead of being able to place the icons freely I can scroll the icons.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Sadly do not know what I did wrong or how this could be reproduced.

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons are more or less locked to the upper 3rd of the screen and can only be freely moved within that box.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons should be able be placed freely across the entire desktop.

Weird. Can you attach a screenshot that shows the problem?

Are you using any screen scaling?

Does the issue reproduce with a new user account?

Hi,

thanks for the swift response. I am not using any screen scaling whatsoever.

However I just tried it with a fresh user with a non modified version of Plasma and it appears to be a Latte problem.
When I launched Latte Doch via the command line the same behaviour occured. It was fixed when I killed the process.
(Which suprised me as simply removing latte dock from my main user did not resolve the issue.)
So I would go ahead and try to find out what I did wrong there and, if need be, open an issue with them instead as this does not seem to be a Plasma bug after all.
Thanks for the assist!
