See bug #397840.  This bug report is about an existing applet being changed for
no apparent reason.  Yes this report is relevant because comment #6 was was
never addressed before.  Bug #397840 contains a patch that fixes the problem in
this report, comment #6.

Is this still an issue or relevant with the new System Monitor applet in Plasma
5.19 and beyond?

Patch To Restore Cache Display and Allow Hover

I also submitted a patch to allow hovering on the load viewer so that
it wouldn't disappear until moving the mouse off of it.  That was
rejected on some consistency grounds -- not on its merit.

I, too didn't like the change here.  But it seems that no one agrees.
That being the case, I have been carrying my own patches to restore
the cache display and to allow hover to prevent the display from
closing.

Here are my patches, if you are interested.  I apply them (after
updates regress them) with the following commands (Fedora):

sudo patch
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemloadviewer/contents/ui/SystemLoadViewer.qml
ui/SystemLoadViewer.qml.patch
sudo patch
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemloadviewer/contents/ui/ColorSettings.qml
ui/ColorSettings.qml.patch
sudo patch
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.systemloadviewer/contents/config/main.xml
config/main.xml.patch

--- Comment #7 from g507...@nwytg.net ---
I was frustrated to find, after updating KDE the other day, that it no longer
shows cache in the memory usage bar. There is another entire bar available for
displaying cache, that seems to show something completely different, but there
is no way to see the thing I want to see: the portion of memory being used by
the file system cache. It used to display cache in a different color to used
memory, which was perfect, but now it's gone.

If showing cache is potentially confusing, a quick checkbox could be added to
make it an off-by-default preference.

What's wrong with visually displaying cache (as green custom color like
before), but reporting without adding in cache (like before)?

It was not "wrong" and matched (visually) what top and others would report.

In other words, why hide the used cache?

Any chance to get this fixed before Plasma 5.13?

> The disk cache is included in used memory.
To clarify my point: misrepresented in the visualization of used memory.

This is apparently an issue again. 
The disk cache is included in used memory.
See attached screenshot.
Please reopen.

Git commit 346b492b362a1ee74ea809de80c0cdaa60ef1dda by David Edmundson, on
behalf of Miklós Máté.
Committed on 19/10/2016 at 21:51.
Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'Plasma/5.8'.

Count only applications in memory usage

This restores the behavior of the widget to match the original C++
version. Buffers and cached do not really contribute to memory usage,
because file system cache gets dropped, if applications need more
memory. See MemFree vs. MemAvailable in /proc/cpuinfo.

memory:
