How do you move widgets in kde 5.5?

[joneall]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to move a widget.

If I hover over the widget for about a second, the tool bar appears on the right. But if I click on that in the middle to move the widget, my cursor changes to a fist and the bloody widget DISAPPEARS!

If I left click for a coupe of seconds, the tool bar comes up, but the result is the same: the fist and then evaporation of the widget.

How do you use this thing?

Also, how do I find the version of plasma, or is it the same as the version of kde?

Your widgets might be crashing. Maybe there are some clues in ~/.xesession-errors

You can run kinfocenter to see kde/plasma versions.

Thanks for the tips.

I can not see anything clearly in .xsession-errors because there are no timestamps. So I will wait for the error to occur again-- because it has stopped!

Don't you just love intermittent errors?

You can try doing tail -f .xsession-errors in terminal, while recreating the error and see if anything pops up.

This. This right here.

This is one of a couple of fora I frequent where I really wish we had a like button
