panel after moving widgets around

SUMMARY
Panel widgets like applications, system tray, hide desktop, clock, etc. got jumbled up after trying to move some things around in the panel configuration. They are all on the left side now and also overlap. When I click on overlapping widgets, both widgets respond to the click. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. right click on the panel with applications, system tray, etc.
2. click on Show Panel Configuration
3. try moving things on the panel around

OBSERVED RESULT
Everything gets mixed up and doesn't stay where it was placed, also they overlap now. It seems like chaos always organizes itself on the left side. There was no option to cancel or undo.

EXPECTED RESULT
No chaos, things should not overlap and stay where they were placed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Graphics Platform: X11
Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For the screenshot, I usually have applications on the far left, and systemtray, clock, hide desktop on the far right of the screen. Now it's just a mess on the left and I can't change it.

After restarting, the widgets were still all on the left side, but not overlapping anymore. The panel configuration works now as expected and I could move everything back to it's original place.
I don't know what caused that bug, I didn't install any updates in that session.

I'm not able to reproduce this on X11, either in git-master or Plasma 6.2.3
Are you still able to reproduce this on an up to date system with Plasma 6.2.3 or greater? There have been a few fixes merged to the panel code
