SUMMARY
system tray moves and overlaps with time and Configure Panel button after
hiding some system tray icons
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using Icon-only Task Manager (not sure if that matters) and a vertical panel
aligned to the left side of screen, right click on system tray and choose
Configure System Tray
2. In the "System Tray Settings -- Plasma" window, click Entries. Note that
there are many entries listed.
3. click General
5. click Entries. Sometimes no entries will be listed. (this is a separate bug)
6. click General again.
7. uncheckmark some Extra Items. (e.g. Battery and Brightness, Clipboard,
Printers, Vaults)
8. click Apply and Ok.
OBSERVED RESULT
Note that the System Tray may shift down and overlap with the time and the
Configure Panel button. At this point it is very difficult to click on system
tray icons. Most right-clicks to the sides of system tray icons will think that
you are clicking the icon-only task manager; sometimes right-clicking a tray
icon will register as clicking the icon-only task bar.
Moving the vertical panel into the horizontal panel does not fix the problem
and when doing so, the system tray stays vertical so you can only see two tray
icons.
Rebooting seems to fix the problem. Repairing the panel is difficult (problems
with clicking/moving different panel pieces) and seems easier to add a new
panel and redo the panel from scratch and then delete the old panel.
EXPECTED RESULT
The system tray icons should not move or overlap. System tray icons should be
easily clickable without the computer thinking that I clicked on the icon-only
task bar.
