Description Alex 2018-11-08 17:55:08 UTC 
When using a vertical panel with the following layout:
- K-Menu (the default one with categories on the left)
- Icons-only-Taskbar
- Systray
- Workspace Switcher
- Clock

Clicking the Menu button in the upper left quarter activates a program in the systray. The button and the corresponding systray icon have about 650px between them and the icon-only-taskbar.
The activated programs are different, I had the problem with tvbrowser (java) and pidigin (gtk), I am not sure if it affects only a certain kind of trayicons. Possibly these programs have trayicons using the older standard.


SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The ubuntu version is 18.10 "cosmic".
The problems happened less often in debian buster (currently testing branch), which also has plasma-workspace 5.13.5.
I had this problem a long time in earlier ubuntu versions as well, so it may depend on the way KDE is built/packaged.
