Weird KDE Panel resizing bug. Thinking of a complete reinstall
Weird KDE Panel resizing bug. Thinking of a complete reinstall
Whenever I resize the panel or the any other widget on the panel (e.g calendar widget) it doesn't remember its size. It's really annoying me. I am on Fedora 40, KDE 6.0.4. Nothing seems to fix it, thinking of a complete reinstall. Is anyone of you getting this bug?
If it's a bug, then reinstalling won't do anything. You could try first creating a new user and checking out that happens with it too. Also, open a bug - it will help others too.
Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Two top comments are exactly right: file a bug ticket.
Just wanted to tag on that reinstalling an entire Linux environment really makes no sense ever, unless you're sure you nuked some kind of files belonging to a crucial package, in which case, you just reinstall the package. There is absolutely no good reason for a full install of the OS, ever.
If you compare the sizes of the panel in the video, it is remembering the size correctly. The issue you're having is that the position isn't remembered.
The behaviour is the same for me on plasma 5.27.11.
Isn't the resize application launcher a plasma widget? If it is, have you checked its compatibility with plasma 6?
There was a workaround someone posted that involved creating a new window rule that applies to all windows, I can't find it rn, but maybe look into that?
That was about remembering the window position not the size but maybe it can be adapted.
You're right, but it seems like a related issue. Worth a shot
The issue OP is having is with the position. If you measure the sizes in the video, they are being remembered correctly.
Try to switch to the different display server (to Wayland if you're on X11 or the other way around)
I also have this bug. It seems that widget position saving is broken atm.
