Any chance you can attach a screen recording of this? We've had bugs about this in the past, but I haven't experienced this issue in a long with with my IOTM.

I have uploaded a recording to youtube:

Thanks, that's helpful.

However this is just how the Task Manager works. If you want the icons to not move around after being launched, you might be happier switching it with the Icons-Only Task Manager.

The video I uploaded previously didn't show it properly. So I uploaded a new video that shows erratic icon movement in icons-only taks manager.

I continue to experience this bug in KDE 18.3 in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Issues with pinned apps jumping around in the Icons-Only Task Manager are tracked separately with Bug 418483.
