Description Riccardo Robecchi 2020-09-20 10:16:06 UTC
SUMMARY
I set icons in "Icons view" on the desktop to be aligned to the right. When I login, though, icons are shown on the left. As soon as I click on the desktop, either with the left or right mouse/touchpad button, the icons are instantly moved to the right as they should.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set icons on the desktop to be aligned to the right
2. Log out
3. Log back in

OBSERVED RESULT
The icons are presented with alignment to the left until the user clicks on the desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
The icons are presented as aligned to the right straight away.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This happens on multiple devices (one laptop, two desktops, all running KDE neon with latest updates). Although I am not sure this has anything to do with it, I noticed this change when I moved to AMD GPUs on my devices; the bug was not present (or at least I did not notice it) when I had a laptop with an Intel GPU and a NVIDIA GPU on my desktop. It might just be a coincidence.
