A new behaviour for plasmoids inside the notification tray was introduced in 5.2. When a plasmoid is visible, if you click on it its panel shows up, but it doesn't have the side bar which shows the other plasmoids. If the plasmoid is hidden, one can click on the arrow, and then click on an item in the list to show the plasmoid, which will be displayed with said sidebar. I understand this is a feature. The problem is that this behaviour seems to be based on the active/passive status of a plasmoid, meaning it doesn't take into account the auto/hidden/shown directive in the tray settings, and this leads to a visual/behavioural inconsistency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the notification tray settings, choose "hidden" for the clipboard plasmoid. 2. Copy something in the clipboard. 3. Click on the arrow, then click on the clipboard. Actual Results: The clipboard panel is shown but doesn't have a sidebar. Expected Results: The clipboard panel should have a sidebar.
