SUMMARY
Every time the clock in the system tray hits a number of seconds that ends on '4' (so 04, 14, ...), the icons left of the clock move a little bit to the left. A second later they move back.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Nothing special to be done. It just happens.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
As described above the icons left of the clock move a little bit.

EXPECTED RESULT
The icons should not be influenced by the clock and stay on the same position.

Forgot to tell: I use X11

What font are you using, either systemwide or in the clock itself? I'm guessing it's not Noto Sans, right? If not, this is very likely already fixed in Plasma 6.2.

Font used by the clock.

Comment 5 kammah 2024-09-04 05:00:06 UTC

Thanks for responding.
I've added two screenshots. The first one shows the fonts I use systemwide. It is Noto Sans. The second one shows the settings used by the clock. The font used is set to automatic, so I guess that will be Noto Sans.

Additional information:
I found out that the movement only occurs when the timezone is shown.

Thanks, maybe it's not that. I can't seem to reproduce the issue on current git master. Would you mind attaching two things:
- A full-screen screenshot that shows your panel setup
- A screen recording that shows the issue happening

This will let me test with your exact settings.

Screen recording showing the issue.

Comment 9 kammah 2024-09-05 17:14:33 UTC

I'm not completely sure I understand what you mean by "A full-screen screenshot that shows your panel setup". I think it's just a screenshot with the taskbar included and that is what I've attached. It has texteditor Kate as backdrop, but I assume that should not be a problem.
I've also included the screen recording showing the issue.

Aha, thanks. This is Bug 484391.
