Hi everyone,
I am using KDE Plasma as my desktop environment on both my arch linux computers, my desktop and my laptop. One issue I have been facing ever since I first installed plasma on them is that I am not able to see the controls of widgets when I hover the mouse pointer over them. I know nothing is broken with my mouse or something because I am able to get the controls to work on a vm running arch with kde plasma. I have tried to ignore this for a while now, but when some game lowers the resolution to something like 800 by 600 and when I revert back, the desktop widgets are all distorted and I am not able to resize them whatsoever. Has any of you faced this issue?
Please help!
Thanks in advance

they are not broken, the setting is just a bit badly hidden. right click on desktop, chose desktop settings, then chose tweaks and uncheck 'press and hold widgets to move them and reveal their handles'
apply/ok and you have the old kde 4 widget handling back. took me months to figure that out. hope this helps.

They also show up if you hold the mouse button down over the widget.

Thank you so much! I have been looking for this for so long. Btw is there a way to lock down the widgets so that they don't screw around when I lower the resolution? The lock widgets option only prevents them from being modified manually, but don't actually "lock" them into place.
