Created attachment 171670 [details] icons get messed up *** 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 This only happens from time to time, and I'm not sure what triggers it. When opening the panel to show hidden icons in the systray, sometimes the get messed up. They move when hovering over them, and they overlap, making the menu practically usable until next start, or Shell reload. This only started in Plasma 6, did not happen in Plasma 5. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Just open the panel of hidden apps in the systray 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT When hovering over the icons, the move, until all of them are overlapped in a single spot EXPECTED RESULT Icons should not move, I should just be able to click them, like icons. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.5.0-10043-tuxedo (64-bit) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0
Is the affected system using an NVIDIA GPU?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Is the affected system using an NVIDIA GPU? I do have an Nvidia GPU, unfortunately, I'm not too sure if it was enabled or not when I encountered this issue. But just in case, Driver Version: 550.90.07 I'm on wayland As mentioned, I'm not able to consistently reproduce this issue, it happens randomly, but I think it mainly happens when I have an external monitor. Also, just as randomly, sometimes the apps becomes all empty. Can't even click the button to shutdown my laptop, and I have to press the power key in my keyboard to be able to shutdown or restart. I sometimes just run `plasmashell --replace &` and detach from the shell to fix it
Thanks. Oh, another question: do you have animations globally disabled?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Thanks. Oh, another question: do you have animations globally disabled? No, I have animations enabled, it's all pretty much defaults, at least the defaults that my distribution ships with. If you'd like to know the value of a specific config, let me know exactly which one it is, and I'll happily send a screenshot your way. Thx ! H
Hmm, ok, thanks. Running out of ideas.
Can you move aside (don't delete) the following files: ~/.cache/plasmashell/ ~/.config/plasma* ~/.config/kde* Then reboot. Does it still happen?

Does it still happen? Hi ! I have moved those dirs aside, but since the bug happens erratically, it's hard to come to any conclusion after the reboot. I'll have to use the system for a few days and see if this happens again. Because I have no idea of how to consistently repro the issue. I use the same monitors with the same resolution, and most of the times it works fine, but the bug occurs randomly from time to time, maybe once a week, with no noticeable reason. So I'll let you know in a few days if setting aside the cache directory changes anything. Cheers.

Does it still happen? Hi there After moving those directories and running the system for a few days, the problem happened again. Did not change any settings the whole time. cheers
FWIW I can't reproduce this on a laptop with Plasma 6.1.4 and nVidia / Intel hybrid graphics In the screenshot, I noticed a system monitor widget next to the system tray. This is a long shot, but does the problem still happen if you move that widget so it's not next to the system tray?
Changing status to waiting for info.

I now have 6.1.4 too. (Used to be on 6.1.2) So far, for the last 2 weeks or so, I did not see the issue again. I'll wait a bit and see if it comes up again, and will try and remove the widget at that point. Thanks
