The user is on kde neon unstable edition running plasma from git master.  He reports that panel items are all on the left but the systray and clock should be on the right of the panel.
Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2023-06-13 10:14:14 UTC 
I can confirm this today upgrading to latest KDE neon unstable packages.  My existing panels are fine but if I add a new panel then it is all on the left.
Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2023-06-15 05:32:03 UTC 
Confirmed by Jonathan.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-06-15 15:16:06 UTC 
Pretty sure this got fixed in the last day or two.

Can you wait a few days, update, reset the panel layout to how yo want, reboot, and see if it's still happening?
Comment 5 Stephen.Gear007 2023-06-15 15:32:07 UTC 
Its just a vm. Every iso (Unstable) is like this from the installer, Im not altering it at all.
I downed unstable everyday since always the same.
Comment 6 Stephen.Gear007 2023-06-16 03:26:30 UTC 
Have tried developer edition. This worked normal panel.
So this morning I downloaded unstable 1508 iso and it's the same as before the panel is all to the left.
Comment 7 Stephen.Gear007 2023-06-19 08:07:54 UTC 
Hi I installed the latest iso(unstable) I updated the install and rebooted and adked for a default new panel.
Sadly this maid no difference, still all the items on the left.
Comment 8 Jonathan Riddell 2023-06-23 08:16:33 UTC 
Still in neon unstable ISO build today 20230622-1056 (also Nate can recreate it by just adding a new panel)
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2023-06-23 08:20:27 UTC 
You can reproduce this by adding a new default panel through the desktop context menu > Add panel > Default Panel.
Comment 10 Stephen.Gear007 2023-06-23 11:16:48 UTC 
Waiting on delivery off hardware to test this in anything other than a VM delivery likely 3/4 hr.
Will test today's present ISO -neon unstable. Will update 17:00-18:00 GMT

Panel: fix widgets being arranged in wrong order in new panel

After Plasmoids are ported to PlasmoidItem, `checkLastSpacer()` can detect
the Layout properties of a widget immediately after a new panel is added.
The task manager widget sets `Layout.fillWidth: true` in horizontal panels, so
after the task manager widget is added to panel, `hasSpacer` will become
true, and `lastSpacer` will become invisible, making `layout.childAt`
unable to locate any item because QQuickItem::childAt will ignore
invisible items.

This adds a new visible condition to `lastSpacer`. When lastSpacer's
width is equal to currentLayout's width, it means all widgets are still
being loaded in a new panel, so `lastSpacer` should still keep visible
to make `layout.childAt` able to find it.
FIXED-IN: 6.0

It's happening again on neon unstable when I add a new panel.
Comment 18 Nate Graham 2023-11-16 20:36:50 UTC 
Yep, reported again as Bug 477079, with a different root cause this time.
