In this case it's supposed to be centered on the screen, I believe. The fact that it isn't seems like a bug, possibly a regression stemming from all the plumbing work done to Panels in Plasma 6. Can reproduce with a new blank panel that has nothing but Kickoff and an Icons-Only Task Manager on it. This would be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/merge_requests/990 is ugly when the popup is attached... when is detached... it kinda looks ok. though indeed better to open it always in the same place otherwise it screws with muscle memory Created attachment 166249 [details]

I can also confirm that this is a problem. Would prefer it to be left aligned with the launch button. *** Bug 482625 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i can confirm if the application launcher window can be center it will be less weird visually. so as to circumvent this we have to center the button in the "apps dock" in so far as to center the launcher panel *** Bug 483629 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 491543 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 163797 [details] Image showing the problem SUMMARY I've just installed Plasma 6 beta and set my panel to "fit content" and "center" alignment (to act as a dock). If you click the Kickoff button, it will try to center the application launcher on the Kickoff button (see attached image). When the panel is set like a dock, the application launcher should be either: (i) left aligned with the kickoff button or (ii) centered on the screen. I believe the "Configure application launcher" dialog should have an option about that. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the panel to "fit content" and "center" alignment 2. Click the Kickoff button 3. Notice the problem as described above (and depicted in the attached image) OBSERVED RESULT The app launcher tries to center itself on the Kickoff button. EXPECTED RESULT The app launcher should either be left-aligned or centered on the screen (ideally this should be configurable).
