Yeah.

Yes, then it seems like intentional behaviour, which just changed.

This might be it, but it could also be two other reasons:

(a) Invisible margin in the Plasma theme outside the visible edge of the widget
frame
(b) For some reason (e.g.: intentionally for aesthetic reasons) widgets aren't
allowed to be placed in the last cell

Needs actually looking at the code.

Now, personally I will say that I think some extra margin is nice aesthetically
...

Ah, that's quite possible, that the grid does not end on the exact screen edge
and the widget aligns with the bottom line of the grid instead of the bottom of
the screen.

I think what's going on is that Plasma 4 allowed you to place widgets freely on
every pixel, but we had countless user requests that this made it hard to line
widgets up nicely, so we implemented a grid system. After dragging widgets may
slide slightly to align to the nearest cell.

I had the same configuration with plasma 4, but the plasmoid had 0px distance
to the screen edge. When i now drag it to have 0px distance, it slides back to
the distance it has in the screenshot. Like it would have a invisible border in
plasma 5 or something similiar, which prevents it from being placed too near to
the edge.

I'm not sure I understand based on the screenshot ... the margin between the
screen edge and the plasmoid seems fine to me.

Added a screenshot.
In my Plasma 4 setup, the plasmoid was at the very bottom of the screen,
leaving a bit of room.

The semi transparent terminal has more or less fixed size, as it can only be
resized by full terminal-lines.
In plasma 4 I used this space between the terminal and the screen edge, which
cannot be removed anyway, so I can click the plasmoid.

Plasmoid near the screen edge behind a semi transparent terminal. The plasmoid
cannot be moved at the lower edge.

Copy of der extended description (how this differes from the other bug):

This is [...] about free positioning of plamoids, i.e. the timer plasmoid,
which is placed in some corner behind a semi-transparent terminal on my
desktop.

In KDE 4 it was easy to start the timer, as there are ~15 Pixel between screen
bottom and terminal bottom. In Plasma 5, the timer placed on the screen bottom
slides up like 10 pixels, leaving only about 5 pixels to click for starting the
timer.
