Bug ID: 511067
Summary: Plasma panel tray popups gradually increase in size
each time they’re opened
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.0
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
When opening any expandable tray from the Plasma panel — such as the system
tray, clock & calendar popup, or custom widget trays — the popup window
gradually increases in size but not necessarily each time it is opened by the
user. I haven't yet recognized the pattern nor the reason behind this behavior.
This happens regardless of which widget is inside. Over time, the tray window
becomes larger and larger until manually resized by swiping or dragging its
edge to shrink it again.
There doesn’t appear to be any option to lock or reset the popup’s size, so the
resizing accumulates across sessions.
#Steps to Reproduce
1- Open any expandable tray (e.g., system tray or clock popup).
2- Close it.
3- Open it again — observe that it is slightly larger than before.
4- Repeat multiple times — size keeps increasing.
#Expected Result
Popup tray should retain its previous size or reset to a default size instead
of continuously expanding.
#Actual Result
Each time the tray is opened, its height/width grows a bit, requiring manual
resizing with the mouse to restore normal size.
#Additional Information
1- This issue persists across several Plasma versions leading up to 6.5.0.
2- It occurs with both default and custom panel layouts.
3- No “lock size” or “reset size” option is available.
4- Tested on Wayland, I don't use KDE on X11 so I'm not sure if this is
reproducible on X11.
