Description Alex 2025-10-07 08:51:28 UTC

System Information:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.16.8-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 31,2 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600


Summary:
After waking the system from sleep or after the monitor turns off by timeout, the desktop icons often move to random positions. This happens almost every day. The icons arrangement is not preserved between sleep/wake cycles.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Arrange desktop icons manually.
- Let the monitor turn off automatically (power saving) or put the system to sleep.
- Wake the system or turn the monitor back on.
- Observe that the desktop icons are scattered or rearranged randomly.

Expected Result:
Icons should remain in their saved positions after wake-up or monitor power state changes.

Actual Result:
Icons are randomly repositioned

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.3.6 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 6.3.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.

The icons scattered after I moved one

Today, the icons flew apart again after I moved one of them to another place.
