I am still getting similar behavior in 4.0.83. With the folderview plasmoid, by default it is in the upper left corner, so the thick handle with the controls is on the right. But when you move it away from the edge, the thick handle now wants to be on the left.

While this makes sense from a developer's perspective, it can be very disconcerting to a user. Use case: move plasmoid away from left edge of screen, decide you don't like it in the new position, try to move it back to its original position. It's very hard because the thick handle is now on the other side hindering a move back to the original position.

I can also confirm the difficulty in trying to correctly position a mouse over an initially invisible handle.
