Description Alexandre Pereira 2016-06-02 19:20:01 UTC 
Hi,

I place some widgets/plasmoids on the desktop containment ( not folderview ) at specified places/corners.

When login in or changing activities, widgets get moved around, up or down.
I suspect its because of the panel, I have the panel on top and "visible but windows on top". The widgets/plasmoids move up or down, based on the panel height. ( if a bigger panel, they move more ).

Also, triggering the panel cashew/configuration makes them move up and down, and most of the time, they don't return to their original positioning.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put widget on desktop in a specific place
2. Switch activities or trigger panel cashew/configuration ( with panel on autohide or visible but windows on top )
3. Watch the widgets/plasmoids move up and down and not returning to original position

Sorry for not checking up on this.
I have been using latte-dock most of the time.

So with 5.18.1 I tried to reproduce this bug like in the video but couldn't.
Seems its fixed.
