This is an issue with the new edit mode UI in Plasma 6.1. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a widget on the desktop 2. Right-click on a panel > Show Panel Configuration (you can also reproduce the bug without the panel settings dialog open, but it's more dramatic this way) 3. Drag the widget that's on the desktop OBSERVED RESULT The position of the widget is not connected to the pointer, because the desktop is a scaled-down preview of the real thing. EXPECTED RESULT The widget remains connected to the pointer even in the scaled-down preview of the desktop.
You can even see it moving in the background amazing!
Created attachment 170634 [details] working correctly
can't reproduce, as the attached video, all the hit boxes of interactible items are mapped correctly
can you do a screencast?
Created attachment 170690 [details] Actually no, it doesn't work In your screen recording, you aren't moving anything enough to see the bug happen. I've attached a screen recording that shows it happening. Notice how I grab the clock from its right-most edge, and by the time I'm done dragging it, the cursor is far away from the clock's right edge.
ok, reproduced, might know what it is
