Created attachment 129336 [details] after layout change
doesn't appear to be reproducible in master, so probably needs a 5.19 specific fix
Created attachment 130117 [details] screen recording on neon unstable Currently the problem is a bit different on neon unstable. The sensors continue working after I change the Plasma layout, but their colors change to black (widgets with Text Only and Horizontal Bars display styles are not affected) and the widgets titles change to generics "Bar/Line/Pie Chart", "Text only" and "Horizontal bars" until Plasma is restarted. Watch the attached screen recording please. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2
cannot reproduce with Plasma 5.20 beta. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1
ops, it's still happening at least on Wayland sesison. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1
Still an issue. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland
This isn't still happening today with Plasma 6.3 (or the beta), right?
On Plasma 6.3 beta, System Monitor widgets lose their sizes and positions on the screen after changing Plasma layout. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Just these widgets? Or any/all desktop widgets?
Not tested all widgets, but at least analog clock, weather report and Media Player are also affected.
Thanks. As I suspected, this is a general issue with widget positioning on the desktop.
I was able to reproduce this in git-master, on a laptop using a single display, Wayland 1. Add a couple of System Monitor widgets to the desktop (it had been Folder View) 2. Right click the desktop and go to Desktop and Wallpaper 3. Change the Layout, apply Result: System Monitor widgets have changed size and position
Cannot reproduce anymore. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Graphics Platform: Wayland
