Same bug on Arch Linux, plasma 5.13.
I would like to confirm this bug and provide a video: https://imgur.com/a/z2R6pXo

Hi! For me this bug reeks of an init problem when the display is vertical. I couldn't find where the horizontal/vertical properties are set in the kickoff code but it's probably done in a more generic piece of code. Anyway, browsing the source code in https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/tree/applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui I could find a suspicious function in KickoffItem.qml: PlasmaCore.SvgItem { id: arrow anchors { right: parent.right rightMargin: units.gridUnit * 2 verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter } width: visible ? units.iconSizes.small : 0 height: width visible: (model.hasChildren == true) opacity: (listItem.ListView.view.currentIndex == index) ? 1.0 : 0.4 svg: arrowsSvg elementId: (Qt.application.layoutDirection == Qt.RightToLeft) ? "left-arrow" : "right-arrow" } Here, visible: is used before it's set. Therefore, if it's been initialized to false, the SvgItem will not be visible at the first call (the first item), but visible on subsequent calls. Also the height and width properties will be 0, which is consistent with the observed behavior (see picture by MitraX). I would simply set visible: before width: and see if it corrects the problem. Unfortunately I don't have KDE dev tools installed so it's a bother to test. Would someone try it? Thanks! NB: I don't use QML so my code reading might be wrong
>Here, visible: is used before it's set. No, QML is a declarative language not a programmatic one, there's no concept of order at this level.
I'm using locally modified version of kickoff with this modifications for "left" orientation (ui/FullRepresentation.qml): AnchorChanges { target: tabBar anchors { left: root.left - top: root.top right: undefined bottom: header.top } } + PropertyChanges { + target: tabBar + height: units.gridUnit * 29 + } E.g. anchors.top replaced with implicit height. Similar workaround may be applied to "right" orientation. Obviously height should be calculated from tab count instead of being hardcoded. Yes, this is not a proper fix but we can't be picky at this moment, can we? I've reported this issue 10 months ago and no one seems to have skills and/or resolve to fix it properly.

I applied your changes to the "right" orientation. Issue with disappearing button seems to be fixed, but unfortunately body (place where I see for example "All Applications") just changed color or actually became much brightest (looks like all would be disabled) than right vertical bar with buttons. Note that in original version color body and vertical bar are the same. I suppose this is because of using "tabBar" in "PropertyChanges". I use Breeze dark scheme and kvantum addon. After changes I restarted plasmashell like this: kbuildsycoca5 && kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

Piotr, how it is supposed to look like? I checked your original Bug 396583 and both screenshots looks different from this one. Anyway, I don't think I can help. You have to "play" with qml to find what is working for you.
(In reply to Dmitry Khlestkov from comment #17) > Piotr, > > how it is supposed to look like? I checked your original Bug 396583 and both > screenshots looks different from this one. I meant that whole window should have the same color like vertical button bar or don't have such contrast between body and vertical button bar. Just please take a look at attached (new) screen shot. > Anyway, I don't think I can help. You have to "play" with qml to find what > is working for you. I was playing a little bit just changing code you proposed. Unfortunately without success, because usually vertical buttons bar just disappeared after my changes. I will wait maybe somebody more experienced in qml will look at out issue.

I can confirm the bug on plasmashell 5.15.1. And although I remember this bug appearing only after I updated to a plasma version a while back, I unfortunately do not remember the version.

Still present, in Plasma v5.16.2.
Created attachment 121955 [details] Attempt to patch Hello! I have attempted to fix it, or at least some portions of it that I did reproduce. I'm not sure how correct the code is, but so far it's working fine on my laptop and desktop.
Thanks very much! Looking at your patch, it seems like the changes to do round() instead of floor() are unrelated; if so, please omit them. Also code that's commented out should be deleted instead. After that, I would encourage you to submit your patch to https://phabricator.kde.org! Here's the documentation: https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Phabricator For reviewers, you can add #plasma, @hein, and @ngraham Looking forward to seeing it there!
I can confirm that patch works. I mean that issue I reported here: Bug 396583 just disappeared. I followed for instruction placed here: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1882509 BTW. There is also thread on reddit mentioning about this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/cm8bef/i_forked_kickoff_and_made_favorites_display_in_a/
The patch was submitted on Phabricator: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22988 It's winding its way through the review process now :)
