SUMMARY After every upgrade the icons on my desktop have large grid width. I can easy return them to normal from /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/FolderView.qml, setting "var minIconWidth = Math.max(iconWidth, units.iconSizes.small * 8);" from 8 to 5 but it brokes again after every Plasma update. Here how it looks: https://i.imgur.com/LZxYu1A.png STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Upgrade Plasma to a new version 2. Restart 3. OBSERVED RESULT Large icon grid width. EXPECTED RESULT Normal grid. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Arch Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tried to get another FolderView.qml file from a new installation and overwrite mine to no avail.
Hello some help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you Nate but I don't complain about the default value of 8. It's great but it doesn't work for me and after every upgrade I have to reduce it to 5 for some reason. Obviously somewhere I have a setting in some file that interfere with it. If I delete the .config and the .local folders this behavior disappears so the culprit is in these two folders but in which file exactly I don't know. Any directions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Please don't change the status; this is a duplicate of Bug 403412. The file you're changing is the code itself, not some user-configurable setting. That's why it gets reset with every upgrade. This is unavoidable until Bug 403094 is fixed (which will hopefully be soon; see the patch mentioned there). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 403412 ***
Yes I know why it gets reset with every upgrade but that's bother me why deleting the .config and .local folders resolves the problem. That's why I think there is a bugged file in my settings.
