the issue still here in plasma 6 stable Bugged again Kicker button is next to panel edge, which makes launcher appear in the correct position Adding a spacer to the left of kicker button triggers the bug |

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 183859 [details]

Yeah, can confirm. :/ (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #12) > Yeah, can confirm. :/ Thanks for confirming this Nate. Hope to see the patch fix soon and I also hope that it will stay fixed this time in the future, and won't regress :) Orson Having been one of the people who was affected by this bug before and now still isn't, I'd like to add that this only happens if the kicker button is not touching the edge of the panel (i.e. panel size is larger than the contents and spacer widgets are added to the left of the kicker to move it away from the panel edge). It seems like the launcher is bounded by the panel edges instead of the kicker button location, whereas before the fix it wasn't bounded by anything but the physical screen. I will attach two screenshots showing the difference. Created attachment 183894 [details]

Adding a spacer to the left of kicker button triggers the bug
There seems to be some confusion here. This bug report is about applet popups centering themselves on the panel even when the panel isn't full width; popups should instead be constrained by the panel borders. In the two screenshots posted by Synthetic, everything looks correct: the panel is costrained by the panel border, which is what should be happening. Similarly, in the screenshot by Sylens, this bug does not appear either, as they have a full width panel, which allows the popup to be centered in the panel. I think they are referring instead about https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499472 (In reply to Niccolò Venerandi from comment #17) > There seems to be some confusion here.

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).
