Neon panel

On KDE Neon the behavior is the same.
If you remove a panel and add a standard panel again, the panel is created without two widgets.
These are missing.

panel.addWidget("org.kde.plasma.digitalclock")
panel.addWidget("org.kde.plasma.showdesktop")

Did you delete a panel and then add the panel again?
I noticed the lack of widgets after removing the panel.
When I returned it again, I saw that the widgets were missing.
This is also noticeable on a new user.

How has Plasma been packaged on your system? Are you using an add-on repo to get git master builds of Plasma 6.5?

I also can't reproduce the issue with a new panel or a new user, but on KDE Linux where I'm 100% sure everything has been packaged properly.

Now I'll finish the plasma-6.4.91 packages for Rosa and check again.
I usually make new plasma-6.5 packages as the packages in git change.

But I installed KDE Neon in virtualbox.
This image is https://mirror.5i.fi/kde-application/neon/images/unstable/20250921-1146/neon-unstable-20250921-1146.iso,
released ten days ago.
Yesterday I updated Neon, and after the update the panel became shorter by two widgets.

Unfortunately, after updating to version plasma-6.4.91, the problem remained.

I wouldn't expect updating the Beta 2 to fix it, because this is almost certainly caused by a packaging issue, likely stale files from the older versions of those widgets.

Just in case it's not, I'm ccing Nicolas Fella who may be familiar with some of the technical changes to the CMake part of these widgets.

This is the file in place and has not been modified.
File from the Plasma package.
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/blob/Plasma/6.5/layout-templates/org.kde.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js

In the system it is located at
/usr/share/plasma/layout-templates/org.kde.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js
It is not clear why, when creating a new panel, the script does not add all widgets to the panel.
Comment 9 Victor Ryzhykh 2025-10-03 23:06:19 UTC
After the latest updates, the problem disappeared.
I hope it was just a random glitch.
