Note: the bug persists in version 6.02, under Wayland graphics server.
Note: my screen is 3840x2160. In plasma Preferences->ScreenConfiguration->Scale I have 125% set.

There are multiple bug reports about this behavior. I'm using 468546 as the main bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 468546 ***
The bug disappeared in plasma 6.2, but the randomly alphabetical repositioning of icons reappeared in 6.2.1. This time it happens to me randomly: for example when I use the browser for an hour, when I then close it I find the icons realigned in alphabetical order starting from left to right.
Can I ask you to try to make it happen in a new clean user account *with no settings customization*? If it doesn't happen there, then it's an issue caused by some combination of settings in your main user account, and we'll need to figure out which ones. Thanks!

So, I did the following: 1) I created a new user with the command: $> sudo useradd -G users,wheel,video,audio,disk -m felice2 2) I exited my plasma session and re-login plasma as this new user 3) right click on the screen and checked that the icon order was "not sorted". 5) I created some directories and files and placed the group towards the center of the desktop 5) I pinned some existing directories on the desktop and randomly arranged them on the screen. 6) the result is in the screen SCRSHOT1.png 7) in the settings, power management, the default situation was the one in the screen SCRSHOT2.png. I left it unchanged. 8) I exited the session and restarted the PC. 9) After the restart, the desktop still appeared as in SCRSHOT1.png. So I left the PC alone for 30 minutes. The PC went into sleep mode after 15 minutes. 10) I woke up the PC and the desktop appeared as in the SCRSHOT3.png screen As you can see, even for a new user there are no differences: the icons are rearranged alphabetically from left to right, for no apparent reason.
Found the way to reproduce it: you have to end up with zero screens. Most screens these days don't actually completely disappear when turned off; they need to be physically unplugged for that to happen. However some do disappear when turned off. In either case, if the system is running when it encounters a "zero screens connected" situation, this issue happens.

Ahh, only the first time I did it did the icons get re-arranged alphabetically. AFter that, I re-arranged them again, and now when I trigger a "zero screens connected" situation, they don't get re-arranged alphabetically but rather seemingly randomly. Looks like these are all the same bug, yeah.

Git commit cc44615b34dacc2a4acfdc82de885c943318a7f6 by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 06/11/2024 at 16:30. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. Refactor icon positioner saving and loading The icon positioner saving and loading is handled by QML, which makes it a bit difficult to work with the logic in positioner CPP files. This change does the following: - Explicitly save only on user interactions - Moved the save and load of config to positioner.cpp - Easier debugging of the saving and loading functions - Still uses the JSON style of save/loading like the old one - Technically should be compatible with the old config, which was also JSON. - Makes positionerApplet accessible from FolderView qml - Various checks for checking if screen is enabled or not to avoid doing unnecessary work when screen is off - A lot of fixes to avoid any racing conditions - Removed any timers - Added various unit tests Alternative to https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2603 Related: bug 494874, bug 472137, bug 433867, bug 494412, bug 468619, bug 449069, bug 495047, bug 453314 FIXED-IN: 6.3.0 M +1 -1 containments/desktop/package/contents/ui/FolderView.qml M +1 -48 containments/desktop/package/contents/ui/FolderViewLayer.qml M +165 -26 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/autotests/positionertest.cpp M +18 -3 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/autotests/positionertest.h M +23 -7 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/foldermodel.cpp M +5 -0 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/foldermodel.h M +176 -60 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/positioner.cpp M +37 -8 containments/desktop/plugins/folder/positioner.h https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/cc44615b34dacc2a4acfdc82de885c943318a7f6

Thank you for your work, and responding. I guess my action should be, load new updates.
...Once Plasma 6.3 is released, yeah! That's the version that will contain the fix.
This bug is very annoying and thank you very much for addressing it. I tried to apply the patch on fedora in the plasma-desktop-6.2.3 package. But plasmashell crashes with it right after starting.
