Cannot reproduce with today's git master. Are you still able to?

If so, do any other widgets exhibit the same issue, or is it just Power & Battery?

Comment 2 Robby Engelmann 2024-12-02 17:03:13 UTC

I can still see this here.

BTW, is there a anywhere a description what to remove in order to start with clean plasma session without any customization?

I'm also not able to reproduce on today's git-master

The easiest way to test Plasma with defaults is to create a new user and try to replicate with it. Can you replicate with a new user?

Comment 4 Robby Engelmann 2024-12-11 14:55:22 UTC

Here, the status is always re-set to "shown when relevant" after log-out/log-in. This also happens with a new user.
I am using the respective snapshots from the unstable repos for frameworks/plasma, apps and extras.

I've been seeing this with the Media Player widget, which I set to Disabled. Occasionally, it forgets that. So it seems like this is a general issue with the System Tray whereby sometimes it fails to save or remember user visibility preferences.

Comment 6 Robby Engelmann 2025-05-06 10:28:12 UTC

not seen anymore for quite a while
