*** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY Sometimes I'll lock my screen and turn off my monitor (LG C2). Later, if I come back to my computer, turn on my monitor, and unlock my computer, I'll notice that the panels are placed in the wrong positions. Sometimes you need to cause the panel to go from "unfloat" to "float" state before the bug is triggered. Notifications are also placed in the center of my screen. This happens most frequently when the lock screen does this weird behavior where after typing in my password, there's an extra "Unlock" button that appears and I have to press enter again to get past it. Not sure what that bug is, but it usually preceeds this bug. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Lock computer, turn off monitor. 2. Step away for a few minutes 3. Log back in OBSERVED RESULT Panel is in the wrong position. For me, its in the top left (See screenshot) EXPECTED RESULT Panel stays in the configured position SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 Kernel Version: 6.8.2-arch2-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/PCIe/SSE2 Product Name: X570 Taichi

I have a similar problem with KDE neon, Plasma 6.0.3: The panel jumps to the top of the screen for no particular reason. It happens when I start a program and the new window opens. However, it does not happen every time I start a program. I do not use the screen lock. It can also be a trigger, but is not absolutely necessary. I help myself by manually putting the panel back in the right position with the panel-settings. I notice this: When I select "position", three arrows appear - top, left, right - although the panel is already at the top. I have to move it to one of the three positions first. Then, in the second step, I am also offered a down arrow. The operating system seems to "believe" that the panel is still at the bottom edge.

I also have this issue.

I can confirm it. - Using latest Archlinux packages - Laptop with NVIDIA graphic card does not have ths problem - PC with AMD Radeon graphic card (AMD Radeon RX 580 Series) has this problem. - Using Samsung Smart TV via HDMI. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 Kernel Version: 6.8.4-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 It is constant after screen lock, sleep, persistent.
"It is constant after screen lock, sleep, persistent." Sorry, I mean problem comes each time after resuming work. I meant not that I cannot move panel to the bottm manually. I move it, and it is OK until PC goes to sleep next time.
Sorry, first time here. I do not know if I can edit old comments, or how. If it can help you with troubleshooting, but it is already mentioned here: - I also have new "Unlock" button, do not know if it is feature or what.. - My notifications (not all) are also centered in the middle of the screen (No playing with settings helps) - And when I login after sleep panel is correctly placed, at the bottom. What triggers it to jump to the top is clicking on some of the windows in panel (For instance to maximise Vivaldi browser, or Dolphin.)
@Stagger Lee Yes, I definitely see this more often whenever I turn off my monitor or when I resume from sleep. I can also "workaround" this issue by changing my desktop resolution to something else and then reverting back. Doing so seems to reset everything back to normal. The fact that this works indicates some sort of monitor configuration bug? Because so many users are experiencing this issue, I am setting this to confirmed.
Created attachment 168633 [details] journalctl -r from turning monitor off and on again I don't know if this will be helpful, but this is journalctl -r for the time period immediately preceding turning my monitor off and back on again. I can reproduce it just by doing this, and then clicking any app in the "icons only" taskbar. I have only deleted the akonadi entries, as I know they are not relevant.
Oh, I can't edit comments on this bug tracker. OK. Anyway. Immediately preceding to "after". It covers the time period.
I have also experienced this issue, starting with Plasma 6.0.0. - OS: KDE neon - Display Server: X11 (X.Org) - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (sole GPU in the machine, the CPU has no integrated GPU) - GPU Driver: NVIDIA v535.x (mainline version provided by Ubuntu, no tweaks or bizarre settings) In my case, this is a rare issue, it has triggered 2 or 3 times over 50-days of daily usage. I switch between machines frequently, so the screen locks and the monitor turns off several times per day. So, this triggers in less than 1 % of cases. The first time this happened, very soon after upgrading to Plasma 6.0.0, I removed the panel at the top, and reconfigured a new one at the bottom. The last time this happened, I kept using the OS with the panel at the top. After a short while, if I recall correctly after at least another screen-locking / monitor-off event, the panel returned to the bottom.
