Created attachment 149034 [details] original config I upgraded to 5.25 beta today on Arch Linux and I was greeted by a panel without the major widgets I have: icon-only task manager, system tray, digital clock and more. I had to remove my org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file and add a new panel. After reboot I have the exact same issue. I have attached the original org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file, a screenshot of the issue an the current org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.

I use 2 panels and one of them had an application icon (spectacle) and that is the one where I am seeing this bug. The spectacle icon goes below the other widgets and there seems to be no way to remove it. One can only fix it by removing and adding the panel back. Temporarily I have removed the app icon from the panel and everything else seems to be working fine. Maybe the application icons seem to be the problem? I am not seeing the bug in my other panel which has no app icons.
@bacteria Yep thanks I can confirm the same. The bug is not triggered if I don’t add any application icons. I will use this as a workaround for now.

Can reproduce after adding a application widget.

(In reply to Bug Janitor Service from comment #9) > A possibly relevant merge request was started @ > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/955 I can confirm this fixes the issue for me. Thanks!
I have also experienced this problem and the only way to totally get around it is to make my desktop look like a Windows 10 desktop which is full of icons to launch applications. A partial compromise is to create 3 blank empty panels at the top of the screen, one centre, one left and the other right. Each contains one of my most frequently used applications. This approach can also be used on the left and right edges of the screen to make a total of 9 applications that can be launched easily. I hope his bug is easily fixed without having to use the above deviant approach.
