When switching between different Alternative widgets on the Desktop, the newly created applet is often positioned and/or sized differently from the original applet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place Kickoff on Desktop 2. Right click, choose "Alternatives" 3. Choose Kicker Actual Results: You end up with a huge widget Expected Results: The position of the new applet is the same as with the old one This can also be reproduced with the various clocks. If size contraints prevent the applet from having the same size, it should at least be centered around the previous applet's position.

Can confirm that 'Application Laucher/Dashboard' desktop widget changes it's size after switching to 'Application Menu' alternative Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.4 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.3 Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic
I can't reproduce the size issue with today's git master. When I switch a desktop Kickoff to Kicker using the "Alternatives" feature, the new Kicker widget has its appropriate default size. Can you still reproduce the issue, Kai? I can reproduce that the Kicker widget isn't positioned centered in the old widget's geometry, but that's probably going to be something we need to specifically add.
