Description Thomas Andrews 2019-01-31 22:51:29 CET
Description of problem:
Imagine a grid of possible positions for desktop icons in Plasma. Each icon requires a certain amount of space, and they can't overlap. 

With previous versions of Plasma, when the size of the icon is reduced, the grid changes so the amount of space needed for each icon is reduced, too. As of Round 2 of the beta 2 isos, the size of the icons themselves can be changed, but the grid of possible positions does not change with it.

I recall that a somewhat similar problem showed up when Mageia 6 was in Cauldron, but I have no idea what was changed to fix it.

Comment 1 Thomas Andrews 2019-02-04 13:22:20 CET
This may be a "feature." 

Further experimentation shows that the amount of space allocated for each icon, especially horizontal space, is determined by the settings for Plasma's General font, which is the font used for the text underneath the icons.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.
