SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1.turn on a computer 2. log in 3. wait until the desktop appears, after 2s the centered clock moves to the right EXPECTED RESULT All widgets stay in the position I set them to SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kde Neon 5.21 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have 2 60hz philips monitors. 1st: 1920x1080, hdmi 2.st: 1680x1050 I'm on integrated graphics but the same happened with an nvdidia gpu too, and on the stable Plasma 5.21
does it move by few pixels or by a whole lot? can you post before/after screenshots?
Created attachment 138749 [details] I couldn't make a screenshot so I recorded a video

Git commit 39dd7bc3b75df58eb2d569df4f89cbe65f1113b6 by Marco Martin. Committed on 25/01/2023 at 16:07. Pushed by mart into branch 'master'. fix problems in plasmoid layout restore The layout manager has a functionality that when the layout is resized, it tries to move all plasmoids to keep roughtly the same proportional distance they had before the resize happened, to make screen resolution change the least "suprising" possible. We actually need this in only one case: The screen resoltion changed and there is not a saved plasmoid layout for this resolution. What was actually happening was that this heuristic was executed *only* when the layout was resized due to panels being added/resized (and not when it should have been). When a panel gets added/resized we want the plasmoids layoput to change *as little as possible* again, to not make surprises. As a side effect , it casued a pretty serious bug: plasmoids near to the vertical center of the screen migrated upwards of few pixels at every plasma restart, because ever time it starts without a panel which appears only later, causing that heuristic to execute and break havoc. Now the heuristic is executed only when the screen resolution changes, which will cause a "config key change" event. Execute this also when the containment migrates to a new screen, and as soon this heuristic got executed, save the layout on the new key.
