Description Antonio Rojas 2009-06-04 11:49:32 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Using KDE 4.2.88

The icons in the panel are randomly rearranged on every logon. Even if they haven been used, just logging out and logging in again makes then appear in a different order.

In case it matters, my icons are in a vertical autohide panel. The only plasmoid in the panel besides the icons is a dictionary. It only seems to affect the lowest 7 icons in the toolbar.
Comment 1 Antonio Rojas 2009-06-04 11:57:45 UTC 
Actually it is not so random: If the lowest 7 icons are ordered (from bottom to top): 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, on the next logon they will be rearranged like this: 5,1,6,2,3,7,4. Pretty weird.
Comment 2 Paschalis Veskos 2009-07-01 19:17:55 UTC 
Still there in 4.3RC1, also in a vertical autohide panel.
Comment 3 Fintan 2009-07-27 08:06:45 UTC 
I can confirm this behavior on kde4.3 RC3
Comment 4 vpiotr 2009-08-23 09:56:49 UTC 
Confirmed on: Qt: 4.5.2, KDE: 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Plasma Workspace: 0.3
Had the same issue with KDE 2.4.x.

It seems that there is a workaround (at least it works for me): you need to leave enough additional unused space for widgets on the panel (experiment with how much "enough" is). _Not_ using spacers helps to achieve that. :-)

I mean 4.2.x, sorry.

This bug is still available in 4.3.3 and still nobody takes care of it?
