[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from [email protected] --- Reproduction is trivial and consistent — always happens I confirm the issue persists on Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma 6.5.3 / Frameworks 6.20.0 — every “Get New …” page (Global Themes, Wallpapers, Icons, Cursors, etc.) uses exactly 4–5 rows, with only horizontal scrolling and no vertical expansion. Impact: On widescreen displays there is a lot of unused vertical space. Browsing large theme / wallpaper / icon sets becomes tedious, because you have to horizontally scroll through dozens (or hundreds) of items — much less efficient than a vertical scroll layout. It is a regression vs Plasma 5, where KNewStuff dialogs used vertical scroll / adaptive rows → those were far easier to navigate. Usability and accessibility are degraded (horizontal-only scrolling is less convenient, especially for users with limited motor control). Suggested resolutions: Restore support for vertical scrolling (i.e. grid height should expand with window height). Offer an alternate “vertical list/grid” layout option (similar to Plasma 5’s KNS interface). Provide a user setting / preference to switch between horizontal-grid (current) and vertical-scroll layout. Additional info: Happens on Wayland with NVIDIA GPU + proprietary driver (common Fedora 43 setup). Happens in all “Get New …” dialogs — not limited to a specific type (wallpapers, themes, etc.). I have attached screenshots that show the fixed-row layout and unused vertical space (including window dimensions). Thanks for considering this — I believe restoring a vertical or adaptive layout in KNewStuff would improve usability for many users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
