SUMMARY When moving the centre of a custom-width panel, it's configured Alignment changes to "Left" or "Right", depending which side you move it to. In plasma 5 it was possible to have the centre of your panel not in the centre of your screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new panel 2. Set Alignment to Centre 3. Set Width to Custom 4. Ensure the max width of the panel is smaller than the max width of the screen 5. Try to move the centre of the panel itself OBSERVED RESULT The Alignment of the panel changes, and with it also it's bounding box (max and min arrows). EXPECTED RESULT The Alignment should stay "Centre" and the panel centre itself should move, creating an off-centre centred panel. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Happens on both Wayland and X11
Created attachment 166653 [details] A centred, small-width panel
Created attachment 166654 [details] The same panel, but its centre moved to the left
This was actually an intentional change, though the reasoning behind it is quite technical (it was the only way to continue offer the feature when moving the panel to layer shell).
> it was the only way to continue offer the feature when moving the panel to layer shell Are you saying that is it impossible for Wayland™ to have a centered window with an offset? And it was double-impossible to pad a window with a transparent area to imitate the offset? Pardon me, but I kinda doubt it. Why was Plasma shell ported to some other shell that doesn't do things that Plasma is supposed to be able to?
