Bug ID: 511822
Summary: Icons-Only Task Manager: "Manual" sorting allows
accidental dragging; all other sorting modes cause
icons to shift position when opened
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager widgets
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Issue 1 - Manual sorting allows dragging:
1. Right-click Icons-Only Task Manager → Configure Icons-Only Task Manager
2. Behavior → Sorting → Select "Manual"
3. Pin several applications to the taskbar
4. Try to drag a pinned icon to a different position
Issue 2 - Non-manual sorting modes cause position shifting:
1. Right-click Icons-Only Task Manager → Configure Icons-Only Task Manager
2. Behavior → Sorting → Select "Alphabetically" (or "Do not Sort")
3. Pin several applications that are not currently open
4. Click to open one of the pinned applications
OBSERVED RESULT
Issue 1: With "Manual" sorting, icons can be accidentally dragged and reordered
Issue 2: With "Alphabetically" or "Do not Sort", when a pinned application is
opened, the icon shifts position (with "Do not Sort" specifically jumping to
the rightmost position)
EXPECTED RESULT
Issue 1: There should be an option to lock icon positions in Manual mode to
prevent accidental dragging while maintaining custom order
Issue 2: Icons should remain in their pinned positions when opened, regardless
of sorting mode
