Created attachment 166581 [details] Screenshot of issue I upgraded to Plasma 6.0.1 on Arch Linux. I noticed the issue seen in the screenshot. The task manager is traditional, splitting apps into 2 rows. I deleted the panel and created a default panel from scratch. The problem remained (the screenshot is from that).
This is in a Wayland session.
can't reproduce, unfortunately does the taskmanager always stays like that or goes in and out of this state?
(In reply to Marco Martin from comment #2) > can't reproduce, unfortunately > > does the taskmanager always stays like that or goes in and out of this state? Seems pretty consistent. I tried changing it to different alternatives and changing settings, closing all apps, but they always start running wild with the rows. Should I look into resetting Plasma configs somehow?
No need, you can just add a new default Panel and use the "Alternatives" functionality to swap out the Icons Only Task Manager for a traditional Task Manager. If I do this and I force it to 2 rows when the panel is thick enough and then raise the panel to 40px thick, I don't get an ugly result; the launchers are grouped over on the left side as I would expect.
Ohh, I can make it happen if I uncheck "Keep launchers separate" and click OK (not Apply; that seems to be broken). Not sure if this can be characterized as a bug per se, though I agree it doesn't look amazing.

Looks like that setting was carried over from before. I don't remember ever touching it.
