Description James Th 2019-10-05 15:13:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
I currently have the application bar at the top of my screen, and I have various widgets e.g. system panel, time, search etc which I manually located to the top right of my screen.  My application launcher is located at the top left of my screen.  However, When I reboot my laptop, all widgets end up on the left side of the screen, so I need to manually move them back.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. move your application bar to the top of the screen, and move widgets manually to the right side of the screen.
2. restart your laptop/PC

OBSERVED RESULT
system tray, search, calendar etc move to the left of my screen next to my application launcher.  

EXPECTED RESULT
Remain on the top right of my screen upon reboot.

i moved my application bar to the bottom of the screen, and it works correctly.  So it might be something to do with it being at the top of the screen, which makes it behave differently.

I also noticed that should I have my application launcher at the top left of the screen, when I open something such as Kate, then the icon moves along so that it is always to the right of the kate menus.  Happy to screen shot this, if it would be useful?

thanks, in advance!

You need to insert a spacer, because widgets are layouted from left to right. The taskmanager on the bottom panel takes all remaining width, so there is no need to insert a spacer there.

Did comment #4 help to resolve this issue?

No feedback; assuming it is a duplicate.
