Description iflema 2011-11-29 06:55:16 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Activity/Desktop tab/corner out of place. Since 4.0, when re-positioning the main panel to the top of the screen the Activity corner/tab move down and hovers away from the edge.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Re-position main panel to top of screen

Actual Results:  
Panel re-positions and Activity Corner/Tab move from top corner down a little and changes to a tab which is floating away from the edge. 

Expected Results:  
I assume its a fault. It annoys me and has done since release of 4.0.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.0-gentoo
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

I couldn't reproduce the bug, everything is shown absolutely fine.
Comment 4 iflema 2011-11-29 22:41:05 UTC
Ive noticed creating a new activity and moving the main panel to top sometimes looks ok but comes undone later on after reboot/login/logoff
Comment 5 Aaron J. Seigo 2011-12-03 20:15:56 UTC
i can't reproduce this either, including after a restart. hm. ...
Comment 6 iflema 2011-12-04 01:11:33 UTC
I do not install anything out of ordinary just a few basics outside of the KDE apps supplied. Arch, gentoo, Kubuntu, Debian, and everywhere else I move the panel since release of 4.0, actually not 4.0 but not long after - not sure exactly when. I get this!? Move the panel is basically the first thing I do...

no biggie =P
Comment 8 Thijs 2011-12-04 11:30:10 UTC
yup, have that too, just never bothered to file a bug about. Do you use several monitors/screen resolutions? I always thought it happened after changing screen resolution back and forth, and that the label position is only adjusted if the screen size is too small - but not when it is too big, this to allow you to manually place the label wherever you want.

Hello 2 u..

  I have had it happen _with_ and _without_ multiple monitors. The 
screenshot (forget the taskbar - i blame gimp and/or me) I provided is 
on a setup that has never had multiple monitors.
Comment 10 Thijs 2012-01-04 14:24:53 UTC
Have seen it now on a brand new laptop too, so not a multimonitor issue indeed. Given the location (distance to upper right is identical in both directions), I suspect that some placement calculator mixes up the two directions. Possibly because the Tab is located on the right instead of on the top, to make room for the panel.

I notice lately the product of creating a new Activity is fine. However that initial (default) Activity remains the same.
Comment 13 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-06-02 10:18:41 UTC
Is this still valid with KDE 4.8.3 or later?

Hi.
Yes and no. Very inconsistant. Default/original activity show same behaviour initially then falls back into place sometime later. Selecting the other default activities, Desktop Icons, Search and Launch etc. shows the same behaviour. Falling back to the edge sometime later if at all.

Will not help. Maybe this attachment..

Thank you for the feedback.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
