A few days ago I installed latest CachyOS ISO selecting Plasma, added my panels and when I go to drag apps to any of them I can only drag one to that panel then I have to logout and back in to drag another one. I have never seen this behavior before any thoughts on what might be causing the issue. Yesterday I went to setup BlueStar linux and got the same behavior. See my thread on the forum. https://discuss.kde.org/t/cannot-drag-more-than-one-icon-to-a-panel-at-a-time/32335/1
Can you please be precise about what exactly you're doing and how you're doing it? There are a lot of ways to do the things you've mentioned here, so I fear we will go in circles while trying to reproduce or debug it. Please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Step_6:_File_a_high-quality_Bugzilla_ticket and add the missing information like steps to repdoduce, software versions, etc. Thanks!
Add a empty panel Rightclick it edit it's configuration to my liking Click on the desktop and start typing for the program I want Drag the program from KRunner to the panel Repeat the last two steps for the next program on to have it not be added Do a reboot then I can add another program using the above steps
Thanks for those nice clear steps. Following those steps, I can't reproduce this issue in current git master on Wayland. Are you using X11? Does the issue reproduce on both X11 and Wayland?
Running Wayland. The last time I ran x11 cause I didn't like the behavior of Wayland at the time every couple of updates I would reboot to have my desktop shrunk with black edges on all 4 sides. After the second time of it happening and having to jump through a half dozen hoops to fix it I went back to Wayland and haven't looked back. not want to test in x11 since I do not use it now.
Should add I realized that I could simply logoff instead of rebooting and then add the next icon. I have since then realized I can just restart the Plasma desktop and be able to add the next icon.

I have this issue and found this bug report. I am running openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 running Wayland the system is fully updated as of today 7th June 2025. When I drag an application icon from the menu to the panel the first icon stays put but in order to add any more icons I have to logout and back in each time and then they stay put, so adding 4 icons requires 3 logouts after the first. I have not yet tried this on x11. I am quite happy to provide any more information you need to resolve this. Stuart
Just did a fresh install of BlueStar Linux and same thing.
Can someone attach a screen recording that shows it happening?
Created attachment 181058 [details] screen recording screen recording
I have created a screen recording dragging first Filezilla from the menu to the panel which works, followed by Q4wine but this fails to add. Stuart
Thanks, I can perfectly reproduce the issue now.
