What does this setting do? Where did you find the advice to set it in your kdeglobals file?
Also can you clarify how you're adding icons to your panel? Is it by pinning them to the Task Manager, or are you actually creating standalone Icon widgets?
Created attachment 161715 [details] attachment-1034726-0.html Hi Nate, No one told me what to do and I found the setting based on my experience. I've been a system administrator for 15 years now. I read logs, compared default files with my files, did A/B test etc. I'm not sure what the setting does. Actually it is you (KDE) who should tell me. :-) but it fixes the problem. I create empty panels and drag and drop icons on them. But it doesn't make any difference. When that bug happens, you can't add any icons to the panels (including KDE's default panel). When you drag the icon to the panel, nothing happens or on rare occasions the icon is being added to the panel but overlaps another icon and it becomes very difficult to remove it. I hope this is enough information.

Source code inspection says that the "Allow Expansion" key only affects KDirOperator instances, and only when placed within the "[View Style]" group. If you didn't set it in that group, then it's in fact having no effect at all. Even if you did, there is no logical connection between KDirOperator and the code for the panel, so any perceived connection between the two is going to end up having been coincidence, random chance due to cosmic rays or solar flares, etc. So let's re-focus on how to reproduce the problem. Can you write up some specific and detailed steps to reproduce? Even the smallest detail helps; for example if you make your empty panel non-maximized, don't forget to mention that. If you add widgets to it, explain exactly how you do it, which widgets they are, and what order they're added. Thanks!
