            Bug ID: 378042
           Summary: Icons in Task Manager Dropdowns are too large, causing
                    Dropdown to be clipped
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.8.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Task Manager
          Assignee: h...@kde.org
          Reporter: javascriptj...@hotmail.com
                CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

I've assigned this to the "Task Manager" because I assume it's responsible for
showing the list of icon/title "group" labels inside the panel and the
dropdowns below those labels.  My observations:
* The icon size in the icon/title "group" labels in the panel itself are OK -
they are small (16px or 22px).
* However, the icon size for each instance of the application in the dropdown
that shows up when you click a "group" label is too large - perhaps 32px or
48px.  

If the icon size in the dropdown were the only/final problem, it would just be
an annoyance, since the result would be fewer of each instance visible per
dropdown.  However, it's actually causing the dropdown to be clipped and hiding
instances of apps so they can't be accessed - at least I believe this is what's
going on.  

My theory is that the code is calculating the dropdown height based on the font
height * # of instances, but actually it won't hold that many instances because
the huge icon size is forcing each instance line to take up more vertical real
estate than the font height would predict.

Note: ***This is a NEW problem that started happening perhaps 1 month ago after
an update.  When I originally installed 42.2 the dropdown icons had a small
size and there was no clipping.***

Best case - fix it outright.  Workable solution - give me a way to change the
icon size in the dropdowns.  I've searched the web and tried to do it, but I've
only found methods for changing the icon size in the group labels in the panel
- not the dropdown.  I've also tried many different skins with no joy.
