Review request for Plasma and Eike Hein.


Changes
-------

Change to "Always arrange tasks in columns of as many rows"


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

When we have "Force row settings" and more than one row of items, the items start to jump around and it is had to keep track of where each item is. 

The atached patch changes the flow to TopToBottom, in stead of LeftToRight, when we have a horizontal layout and "Force row settings", and similarly to LeftToRight in vertical layout. (In practice the vertical layout is always one column and this patch has no effect)

Here are two videos that describe the problem
First is the row major where taskbar items jump around:

And the second with a patched taskbar where the items jump around a lot less:

Testing
-------

I have applied this patch to the system installed plasma 5.3 installation.


Thanks,
