The scrollbar is here invisible unless you click on it.

It seems that when the desktop is in "Folder view", then the desktop settings window behaves better. But once switched to Folder view, then there is no simple way to switch back to Desktop view - plasma crashes, restarts and you are back at Folder view.
Comment 6 Jüri Ivask 2018-10-31 17:14:28 CET
Should be something Mageia (packaging) specific, as in KDE neon Plasma 5.14.2 there are no such problems.

Thus it is not possible to create a new activity with the layout "Desktop View".
Comment 8 Ben McMonagle 2019-02-16 23:01:26 CET

Comment 9 Jüri Ivask 2019-02-17 14:50:01 CET
It is still valid with Mageia's KDE Plasma 5.14.5.
Comment 10 Nicolas Lécureuil 2019-02-17 18:23:33 CET
and with plasma 5.15.0 ? ( updates_testing )

Comment 11 Nicolas Lécureuil 2019-02-17 18:52:10 CET
seems still valid. Can you confirm ?

If yes can you report it upstream and give the link to the bugnumber here ?
Comment 12 Ulrich Beckmann 2019-02-18 00:02:51 CET
Yes, it is still valid with Plasma 5.15.0.
Tested in a VM. Plasma still crashes, when you set the layout to "Desktop".

I doubt very much, that it is an upstream issue. It cannot be valid for several months and version numbers.

Comment 13 Jüri Ivask 2019-02-18 09:28:35 CET
Can confirm - Plasma 5.15.0 did not make it better. Even worse - now I was unable to activate the scrollbar at all.
As stated in Comment 6 - it is something Mageia (packaging?) specific as it works just OK in KDE neon. Just checked with KDE neon 5.15.
Comment 14 Jüri Ivask 2019-02-18 11:47:07 CET
Installed missing dependency (according to just building plasma-desktop-5.15.0-3.mga7) qqc2-desktop-style and all symptoms of the bug seem to be fixed now.
Thanks for the fix!
I guess we can mark this bug as fixed now...
