Window AppMenu keeps moving to the right

I am running the KDE Dragonized version on my laptop and desktop. On both systems, every once in a while the AppMenu moves from the left to the right, next to Flameshot. I have to edit the top panel and drag the AppMenu to the left. A day or two later, the AppMenu is back in the right side. Here is the laptop info:

I have had the same problem too.
Due to me having two monitors, I didn't have an application menu bar on the second monitor, so I made one myself and edited it as I wanted.
But I placed the window buttons on the right because I am more used to them, and every reboot they move to the left.
The only difference I have seen with the default Dr460N1zed menu bar is the default having justify splitters and my custom made one not. I tried to search for these splitters in the widgets menu and the widgets store but couldn't find any.

Here it is...

The justifiers definitly need to be there in order to avoid these issues from what Ive seen so far :face_with_monocle:

Are the justify splitters widgets? I can't seem to find them in the widget menu

You might have to enable "justify" in the Latte rightclick menu -> positioning ? For me they were present all the time, just dragged them around :smiley:

Thanks, enabled the justifiers. This was a new installation on both systems, and the justifiers were not enabled.

Justify splitters are built in Latte, they are added automatically when the user enables Justify alignment and they are removed automatically when the user chooses any other alignment except Justify.

Their main purpose is to center applets easily.

I don't know if I was using the latte panel or not, but I fixed my problem by adding a spacer by clicking add spacer and adjusting the panel as needed. Put Window Buttons on the right side of the spacer and Window appmenu on the left side as I waned and it seems to work

sounds like you are using a plasma panel for your top bar
