Bug ID: 443712
Summary: Bottom panel hides lower part of windows including the
confirmation buttons at lower resolutions
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: paninomaninod...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0

example of the problem
SUMMARY
Interface/Windows does no fit on screen with no way to resize to make it fit
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click "Status and Notifications" arrow on system tray, click "Configure
System Tray" (a windows will open maximized)
2. Select side menu "Entries", change any option/icon's "Visibility"
3. Scroll down, there's not buttons to apply and save the changes, it's hidden
behind the bottom panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
I'm unable to change the visibility of the icons in the system tray
EXPECTED RESULT
That the buttons to apply the changes would be visible and clickable without
any additional step to workaround the problem
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The solution is the click on the "restore button", the one on the middle in the
tittle bar to resize and decrease the size of the window and than maximize it
again. This changes the shape of the window, pushing the buttons up and making
it half visible, enough to click on them.
Would be better if this did not happen, but it's worse because makes you notice
not a bug, but a limitation that Plasma 5 has for some time already (or ever
did). You can not resize the sizes of some windows, apparently those related to
configuration interfaces at will. That window to configure the system tray have
that minimum size, you can't get lower than that, the layout doesn't adapt to
lower sizes. Why?
I'm linking two images with examples of this.

I imagine that this problem is invisible for people using higher resolution
screen. This should only be a problem on low resolutions like the one I'm using
now.
I tried to change the visibility of the panel, but there's not satisfactory
option. The option it's lacking is to make the windows attach to the top of the
panel instead of making the panel visible or not above the windows.
