Description Nate Graham 2023-12-18 16:11:30 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Plasma 5
2. Enter Panel Edit Mode
3.  Move the constraint arrows at all so that your panel no longer automatically fills the full width/height of the screen
4. Upgrade to Plasma 6


OBSERVED RESULT
Panel is in "Fill Width/Fill Height" mode


EXPECTED RESULT
Panel is in "Custom" mode with the constraint arrows located in the same place they were in Plasma 5
