I haven’t yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened.

I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it’s still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn’t do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right).

This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it’s not a permanent fix.

Also pre-update I didn’t had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube.

I’m sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

    I had similar issues. When first booting into plasma6, my bottom panel was changed to floating. Changing it to not float made it spaced from the bottom of the screen.

    While trying to fix that, I somehow managed to move the pinned icons all off the panel and onto the desktop, but they were unable to be clicked or moved. I ended up restarting for unrelated reasons and they snapped back to the panel.

    I think there were other wonky issues with the edit session, but I don’t recall specifics. Good luck!

    Edit: this was on a wayland session with integrated amd graphics.
