Description PGillespie 2016-02-27 21:04:22 UTC
Installed 'Application-Dashboard Widget' next to System Tray (between system tray and clock in standard default arrangement) as a trial run. I later wanted to move/remove it and make it the default launcher, but KDE doesn't seem to recognize the widget. I'm only able to select the system tray (which "grey's over" the Application-Dashboard Widget" or the clock. Unfortunately KDE doesn't allow me to take a screen shot while customizing the panel.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Application-Dashboard Widget next to System  Tray (or anywhere?)
2. Attempt to move or remove.

Actual Results:  
Unable to select widget.

Expected Results:  
Ability to select widget.

Latest KDE installed from backports onto Kubuntu Wily. Love KDE. Looking forward to NEON.

you can set ksnapshot to take a full screen screenshot with a delay of some seconds, then open the panel configuration mode and the screenshot will be taken correctly

I've seen something similar recently where I accidentally dropped a file into my panel and the widget was there but I failed to remove it as there were other widgest ontop of it; seems the panel layouting gets confused at times.

I gave up trying to remove the widget. After several restarts during the normal course of usage and updates, the issue magically resolved itself. I could suddenly highlight and move the widget.

I'm at a loss for an explanation.

In the meantime, I'm loving Plasma5.
