Git commit 25c0e777df7c26091565cfb5a1b096f29bf94941 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 19/02/2026 at 10:29. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: only set anchor margin if there is a sidebar The seachField is positioned manually, as we need it in different layouts (and LayoutProxyItem causes issues with focus management here). This means we need to allow space for the sidebar manually using margins - but only if there is one (i.e. it has items in it). Currently, we don't check for that. Instead, only set the margins if there are favorites.
