The widget overflows outside the desktop.

SUMMARY
Stealing focus while dragging widget out of the screen, places widget out of the desktop.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold down a widget, drag it to the edge of a screen.
2. Steal focus while holding down the mouse button. (I used spectacle shortcut for rectangular screenshot).
3. The widget disappears, or is partially outside the desktop. It is now placed out of the screen.
4. Now use the edit mode to bring it back, you will be able to see it out of the screen.

I can;t reproduce this issue as described; any chance you could attach a screen recording that shows it happening? Thanks!

It would also be good to know if it only happens with certain widgets. The one you've got in your screenshot isn't a 1sr-party one. Does it happen with the Digital Clock widget?

Weirdly, this seems to be device specific. I was able to reproduce this on my work device consistently but I am unable to reproduce this on my personal machine. 

I will provide you with a video when I can.


Back on my work machine I was able to reproduce it with digital clock and other first-party widgets as well.

P.S. The attached screenshot is of the edit mode with the plasmoid right on the edge. You can even see the overflown part of the widget outside the desktop boundary. (Added in case it was not apparent),
