Git commit aaf595b25749553b5f348edf53d253f59021c054 by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 09/06/2025 at 12:51. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. FolderView: Do not use positioner if its disabled FolderView plasma widget does not use positioner, so we should not run any positioner related code when it's disabled. If the object has positioner disabled and runs it anyway, it will get confused and try to shuffle the few items it has around, creating fake items in wrong indices.
