Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2022-11-13 20:36:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
When renaming a file in a folder containment which has a custom position, it will be repositioned after Plasma restart to the first free position in the topleft ordering.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move a file to a random position, e.g. bottom-right.
2. Rename the file, e.g. via context menu.
3. Restart Plasma

OBSERVED RESULT
File is moved to first free position in the normal ordering.

EXPECTED RESULT
File keeps it position.
