KDE Plasma Icons not locking [Closed}

Postby Plisgyn2 » Jun 6th, '19, 17:28

I am running Mageia 6 fully up to date and have my Desktop Icons in a vertical column on the left hand side. The top Icon is close to the top of the screen but if I move it to another position and lock the Icons, it returns to the top position after a reboot. Any ideas?

I believe this may be an older bug, where KDE sometimes re-sorts icons. What desktop layout do you use currently ?

Not what theme, what layout. Make sure widgets are unlocked and right-click on an empty space on your desktop, at the bottom click on "Configure desktop". What layout is selected ?

Then best try to select something else, e.g. Desktop.

I only have 2 options for Layout Folders and Desktop. On Changing from Folders to Desktop all the Icons disappear.

You can add icons by right-clicking on the items in the "Application-menu".
