Description puggan 2016-05-27 12:24:09 UTC
after running `panel.screen=0;` the panel.screen is still 2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple screens connected.
2. starta a plasma-console: `qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.showInteractiveConsole`

Run the script:
   var panel = panelById(panelIds[0]);
   print('before, panel.screen: ');
   print(panel.screen);
   panel.screen=0;
   //panel.location='top';
   panel.location='bottom';
   print('after, panel.screen: ');
   print(panel.screen);


Actual Results:  
Executing script at fredag 27 maj 2016 kl. 14:20:30 CEST

before, panel.screen: 
2
after, panel.screen: 
2

Runtime: 1ms

Expected Results:  
Executing script at fredag 27 maj 2016 kl. 14:20:30 CEST

before, panel.screen: 
2
after, panel.screen: 
0

Runtime: 1ms

I can move the panel using mouse, and the panel.screen ends up as 0, 1 or 2.
I can move the panel to another edge on the same screen (top, bottom).

The most annoying is when i move the laptop, to somewhere where i don't have 3 screens, and it stays on the 3th screen.
May be related to 362910 and 356225, but this problems also accures when all screens are connected, and the panel is visible.

    Q_PROPERTY(int screen READ screen)


is read only.

If this is the resolution, can the documentation, at 

https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting#Activities_and_Panels

please be updated so that "screen" be moved out of the dot pointed list prefixed with "as well as the following read/write properties:"  and into the list above it starting with the sentence "Activity and Panel objects, once created by the script, or as returned by activityById, activityForScreen, or panelById) provide the following read-only properties:"

.. I'd suggest that "version" is probably supposed to be "read-only" as well and should also be moved to the list above it.

David is this still relevant? If so and the "Q_PROPERTY(int screen READ screen)" is still a read-only variable can we please have this documented as requested.
