Can confirm. If I move them quickly before the preview appears, they stick. If I let the preview appear while dragging, they revert. Created attachment 165360 [details]

I have similar issue, although they are not coming back on their own, but I cannot drag more than 3 icons at the time it seems.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 5.92.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-0.rc2.19.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-9850H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20QUS10L16 System Version: ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 (In reply to Dennis from comment #0) I can't reproduce this issue on Plasma 6.0.3, even with grouping in the Icons-only Task Manager disabled ("Do not group"). (In reply to Gurenko Alex from comment #2) As for the second video uploaded, I believe I have had a similar issue before a long time ago. It was however not related to the fact that multiple instances of a program were running, but that a Flatpak app I had pinned (while it was running) broke the panel's INI config. Pinning programs that are running with a lot of parameters may put all those parameters into your panel's configuration, which I speculate may break the parsing. Because of this, I learned to only pin those kind of apps from the Application Launcher search. I would recommend you try to unpin all your apps or remove the Icons-only Task Manager entirely and re-add it to your panel. Please report if that helps! I have also filed this bug report for plasmashell and the Icons-only Task Manager, instead of the KDE neon distribution and their packages. They have nothing to do with this. :) It is not happening to me either in Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-26-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core Processor Memory: 31,2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NV174 Manufacturer: Alienware Product Name: Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R14 System Version: 2.15.0 cl;osing the issue I would like to ask that this be considered experiencing a possible regression. Once I can attach video of the behavior, I will do so. In short, click and hold an icon to rearrange it, and the icon you selected is changed auto-magically. Created attachment 171510 [details]
Video of task manager icon movement behavior
I'm getting the same issue as shown in the video, trying to move apps in the task manager is very difficult, so I've resorted to just pinning them in the order I want. It doesn't seem to matter if the apps are open or not, although some are Flatpacks that I pinned while having open. I've now tried deleting the Icons-only Task Manager as suggested then creating it again, adding all the apps while closed from Application Search, but unfortunately no difference after that.

Created attachment 163561 [details] icon shifting on taskbar jumps back SUMMARY Icon-only task manager does not allow to shift the icon to another location if there are multiple instances of an app. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Neon 2. Install Evolution mail client 3. Install terminator 4. Open 2 instances of Evolution, for example Mail and Calendar 5. open terminator 6. Drag the icon of terminator to the left. OBSERVED RESULT icon move looks succesfull, but changes back to original place. See the attached file as example EXPECTED RESULT icon should stay put SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.81.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-37-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 13 9380 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - this does not happen if there is only one instance of Evolution open. - happens also with asbru-cm instead of terminator. - Let me know if there is more testing required.
