SUMMARY I'm not sure if this should be filed under Dolphin issues, but I couldn't figure out where else to put it. Anyway, there is some weird behavior when aligning the desktop icons to the right side of the screen. When you move icons around all the icons walk to the left, you have to click the desktop once after moving an icon for the locations to resolve "correctly". Move an icon again and the same behavior occurs. This has been an issue for quite some time, I never got around to report it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make two empty folders/files on the desktop. 2. Right click the desktop > icons > set "arrange in" to "columns" and set "align" to "right". 3. Move one icon to the left side of the screen, but not in the first column. OBSERVED RESULT Icons "walk" to the left. EXPECTED RESULT Icons stay in place. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The same behavior is true for neon on my laptop and gentoo on my other machines.
Actually the same walk is observer when you put the icon in the left column, the offset is just smaller.
I believe this is fixed now in Plasma 5.27 due to porting Folder View to a newer scroll view widget which has better geometry behaviors on the right side.
