icons-and-text task manager quirky behavior.

Hello KDE people,

Configuring icons-and-text task manager, I changed the default behavior and selected new tasks appear to the left.
The result is the icons and tasks ‘jump’ about the panel for a second before settling back.
This happens even if this configuration is the first thing I do after fresh install.
The default setting (new tasks appear to the right) works fine.

My system details are:

Manjaro Linux X86_64
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.34-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 14.9 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 680M (integrated)

Thank you very much for your attention

Oren
