A scrollbar has appeared on the right side of my desktop when it seems like there should not be one. It seems to be related to my panels. I have two bottom panels on opposite sides of the screen from eachother. They are side by side, not stacked.
When I remove one panel it goes away & I have a normal desktop, but after adding a second panel a scrollbar appears & makes the desktop scrollable despite the workspace in the middle still being the same size. It also causes a pretty tall section of the bottom of the screen to be unable to hold a desktop icon.
This icon is in the same place as before adding another bar, but is cut in half by the “icon exclusion zone” here.
And disappears entirely if I scroll up.
While dragging the icon (disappears in screenshot) to a new spot near the bottom of the screen, the cursor turns into a “no” symbol and the icon is returned to its previous position if dropped. Also, if all icons have been dragged & dropped into new places above the “exclusion zone” the scrollbar disappears, but I still can’t place icons on this ~100px tall region at the bottom of the screen. It’s like the workspace has been cropped smaller, & is now 1820 by 1080 instead of the 1920 by 1080 it should be.
I’m in Plasma 6.3 with Wayland, but I think this was also happening in Plasma 6.2. I made this second panel about the same time as the update so I’m unsure what version it started. Is this a known bug? Is there a way I can reclaim the bottom portion of my workspace & get rid of the scrollbar that does not involve removing my second bottom panel?
I’ve only found one post mentioning anything similar.
