Panel in wrong position after logging back in

How it should be normally
I have a similar problem with KDE neon, Plasma 6.0.3: The panel jumps to the top of the screen for no particular reason. It happens when I start a program and the new window opens. However, it does not happen every time I start a program. I do not use the screen lock. It can also be a trigger, but is not absolutely necessary. I help myself by manually putting the panel back in the right position with the panel-settings. I notice this: When I select "position", three arrows appear - top, left, right - although the panel is already at the top. I have to move it to one of the three positions first. Then, in the second step, I am also offered a down arrow. The operating system seems to "believe" that the panel is still at the bottom edge.

"It is constant after screen lock, sleep, persistent." Sorry, I mean problem comes each time after resuming work. I meant not that I cannot move panel to the bottm manually. I move it, and it is OK until PC goes to sleep next time. Sorry, first time here. I do not know if I can edit old comments, or how. If it can help you with troubleshooting, but it is already mentioned here: - I also have new "Unlock" button, do not know if it is feature or what.. - My notifications (not all) are also centered in the middle of the screen (No playing with settings helps) - And when I login after sleep panel is correctly placed, at the bottom. What triggers it to jump to the top is clicking on some of the windows in panel (For instance to maximise Vivaldi browser, or Dolphin.) @Stagger Lee Yes, I definitely see this more often whenever I turn off my monitor or when I resume from sleep. I can also "workaround" this issue by changing my desktop resolution to something else and then reverting back. Doing so seems to reset everything back to normal. The fact that this works indicates some sort of monitor configuration bug? Because so many users are experiencing this issue, I am setting this to confirmed. Created attachment 168633 [details]
journalctl -r from turning monitor off and on again
I don't know if this will be helpful, but this is journalctl -r for the time period immediately preceding turning my monitor off and back on again. I can reproduce it just by doing this, and then clicking any app in the "icons only" taskbar. I have only deleted the akonadi entries, as I know they are not relevant.
Oh, I can't edit comments on this bug tracker. OK. Anyway. Immediately preceding to "after". It covers the time period. I have also experienced this issue, starting with Plasma 6.0.0. - OS: KDE neon - Display Server: X11 (X.Org) - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (sole GPU in the machine, the CPU has no integrated GPU) - GPU Driver: NVIDIA v535.x (mainline version provided by Ubuntu, no tweaks or bizarre settings) In my case, this is a rare issue, it has triggered 2 or 3 times over 50-days of daily usage. I switch between machines frequently, so the screen locks and the monitor turns off several times per day. So, this triggers in less than 1 % of cases. The first time this happened, very soon after upgrading to Plasma 6.0.0, I removed the panel at the top, and reconfigured a new one at the bottom. The last time this happened, I kept using the OS with the panel at the top. After a short while, if I recall correctly after at least another screen-locking / monitor-off event, the panel returned to the bottom. I am reporting that I also am having the same issue on Manjaro, KDE 6.0.5. I can consistently reproduce the issue by simply turning off my monitor for a moment (no need to lock), turning the monitor back on, and then the very next minimize to desktop activity will pop the panel to the top of the screen. I had been logging off and back on to resolve the issue, but also found that going into edit mode, changing the position to top (which has no effect) and then back to bottom, will get the panel back to the bottom of the screen. It seems to be related to the transition between the "floating" panel and the "anchored" panel (not sure of the actual terms). When the monitor is turned off it seems to change the next panel "floating to anchored" transition to pop to the top of the screen. I can also confirm this issue. Happened after I started applying a new global theme to KDE on Garuda Linux (Arch). The task bar is located on top, in Edit Mode I am not able to move it down immediately because it thinks it's down still. Have to move it up once in order to move it down. Happens mostly after I shut the PC down and boot it back up. I usually don't lock my screen and haven't seen it appear after longer downtime with the PC on. Created attachment 170178 [details] panel defloating in the wrong direction Can reproduce this consistently by switching my monitor off and on again. It seems that S Rider (comment #12) is correct the bug has something to do with the panel de-floating. I tested a bunch of configurations: Panel on the bottom -> jumps to the top Panel on the right -> jumps to the left Panel on the left -> panel "defloats" in the wrong direction (see attachment) Panel on the top -> panel is stuck in the docked position but moved away from the monitor border all those bugs can be recovered by manually setting the panel to some other border.

Panel at top of screen "defloated" downwards
after setting the panel position to the top and switching the monitor off and on again this is how the panel looks and it won't move regardless if there is a window touching or not.
Note: the window is maximized, and not intentionally moved behind the panel.
I would like to bump this thread as I am also experiencing this issue I am seeing a variant of this behavior (partial correction) in 6.1. It seems partially fixed, but not resolved. For me the bar no longer relocates to another side of the screen, but "raises or lowers" the wrong direction. So if the window is full height, the bar should stick to the side of the screen, but now it raises towards the window away from the edge. This is speaking from the same situations that would, before, result in the relocation of the bar. I attempted to "show panel configuration" (which is how I would previously relocate the bar to resolve this issue) to see if I could do the same to fix which direction the bar was leaning, and it crashed with the following in journalctl: Jun 19 07:53:26 sakura systemd[1088]: plasma-plasmashell.service: Consumed 38.229s CPU time.

It was very anoying bug. Small problems with panel configuration crash, as latest user reported. Trying second time possible to enter configuration. Is anyone else who has been affected by this still seeing the bug? Created attachment 174342 [details]
Plasmashell Kcrash
Panel position bug is fixed but "Show panel configuration" still crrashes.
Sounds like a different bug; please open a new bug report for it. Thanks! Also, if possible please wait until Plasma 6.2 is released in five days and try again with that release before opening a bug report; it may already be fixed in 6.2. Also make sure you have debug symbols; the backtrace in that attachment is currently useless. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Thanks! |
