kde widget bug
SUMMARY
A Sticky Note widget (Plasmoid) appeared on the desktop automatically without
user interaction, and it is confusing to identify or remove for users expecting
standard process management.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Boot into a CachyOS system running KDE Plasma.
Observe the default desktop layout.
Notice the sudden appearance of the Sticky Note widget on the desktop
without having manually added it via the Edit Mode panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
A yellow sticky note plasmoid is present on the desktop. Since it is a plasmoid
and not a standalone process, standard Linux process diagnostic tools (like
xprop, ps, or killall) fail to identify it, causing confusion.
EXPECTED RESULT
Widgets should not appear automatically unless part of a strict default layout
profile. If a widget is present, there should be a clear, accessible context
menu (right-click on the widget itself) to "Remove" it without explicitly
needing to enter the global desktop "Edit Mode".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: CachyOS (Arch Linux based)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.x (Please verify via kinfo for the exact subversion)
KDE Frameworks Version: (Verify via kinfo)
Qt Version: 6.x (Verify via kinfo)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Running under a Wayland session. The appearance of unexpected widgets triggers
anxiety for users who require strict system structure and order. A simpler
removal method directly on the widget would improve accessibility.
