When I'm using the folder view setting for the Plasma 5 desktop, I can often get an older style desktop layout (it's laid out exactly like I had on Cinnamon) when clicking refresh desktop in the upper left-hand context menu. This layout seems to cover the folder view layout, and I can't interact with any widgets or items in the folder view after this occurs. I have not found a way to revert back to the folder view without logging out of Plasma and logging back in. This wouldn't be so much of a problem for me (in fact the older layout is *much* preferred to the folder view!), except for the fact that the older view is super-imposed upon the folder view. If at all possible, I would prefer to keep this older style layout, as the folder view is less functional than this other style. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to consistently show this older view every time. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select "Folder View" for desktop settings 2. Open the upper-left context menu 2. Click "Refresh Desktop" 3. Hybrid appears
I've also been able to occasionally reproduce the bug when changing the desktop/folder view settings. It is not consistent regarding which setting I change, and when the bug appears.
Can't reproduce this bug in: Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.3 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.2 Kernel 4.10.0-38-generic Type: 64-bit
What do you mean by "old style?" Can you re-phrase in terms of describing what the problem is? A screenshot attached to the bug would help too; the link you provided has expired.
