Sorry for the bad name The default is set to "new apps appear to the left" but they actually appear on the right. When changing that to the right, they appear to the left. --- Software --- OS: Fedora Linux 39.20240214.0 (Kinoite) KDE Plasma: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks: 5.113.0 Qt: 5.15.12 Kernel: 6.7.4-200.fc39.x86_64 Compositor: wayland
Cannot reproduce; please attach a screenshot that shows the issue with the Task Manager as well as its settings window on the Behavior page scrolled to the bottom. This is becoming a bit of a theme. :) Can I ask you to put a bit more effort into your bug reports? Screenshots are almost always needed when reporting visual issues.

I do not run Plasma6 currently but I can explain it a bit more. I have everything default so screenshots should not be necessary. By default new apps appear on the right, where they pop up. When I right click on panel, hover over the "icons only bar" and go to its configuration, I see that the default is "new apps appear on the left" which is not correct. Now I thought "this must be a bug" and changed that default to "new apps appear on the right" which made them appear on the left. It seems in the default icons-only app bar, the sides "left" and "right" are either not translated correctly (germen locale) or are actually swapped, while the settings work as expected but names are swapped.
A screen recording is important because it will reveal any customizations you've made that you forgot about or didn't think to mention because they seemed insignificant to you. It will also reveal additional divergences from the way I'm testing it so I can sync up my testing with what you're doing and seeing. So please do attach a screen recording.
Created attachment 167747 [details] panel with incorrect "new apps appear on..." setting here is a picture: All I did was replace the "workspaces" widget and add 2 spacers, one to the left, one to the right, to make the "icons only task manager" appear centered.
Created attachment 167748 [details] default panel having the same issue As I said, this is also occuring on a new user with default panel. I guess this is just an issue that the settings page has the wrong names, nothing is actually misbehaving
I think you may be confused about what the setting does. It says *new tasks* appear on the left/on the right. It's about where newly-opened windows go, not the general orientation or placement of tasks.
Hmm... so a task is an app with an icon right? If I open an app that is not pinned, it appears to the right of the other icons that are pinned. Or is this about the location of unpinned tasks, so if all are unpinned, new ones appear to the left? Damn, likely not a bug!
