Description Mike Rivnak 2024-07-03 02:15:35 UTC

SUMMARY

Changing the direction in which new tasks appear in the items-only task manager no longer right aligns the icons, as it did in plasma 5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new default panel
2. Change the direction in which new tasks appear for the icons-only task manager to "to the left"
3. Apply settings changes

OBSERVED RESULT
New tasks to the left, but all icons remain left-aligned

EXPECTED RESULT
New tasks to the left, and all icons are right-aligned

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've also tested this in a fresh KDE Neon testing install from today and observed this behavior in wayland and X11.

If this is an intended change then with it should come with an additional option to change the alignment of icons in the task manager.

applets/taskmanager: Fix icon alignment when is reversed

Setting the icons-only task manager to open new tasks to the left
should reverse the icon order and align items to the right side of the
panel; previously, only the order was affected.
