vertical task bar: before & after
I'm on arch linux, wayland. I just tried switching to the [kde-unstable] repo
to test the Plasma 6 Beta.
I use a vertical panel with my app menu and task manager. It's broken in Plasma
6 because the min widget height is now proportional to the width of the panel.
It wasn't an issue in Plasma 5 (is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466566
obsolete?).
See the attached screenshot for Plasma 5 to 6 before/after. (Ignore the
timestamps, I took the "Before" after I reverted to stable release).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Start wayland session
1. Place a panel on the right side of the screen (e.g. your main "taskbar"
panel). Make it 300 pixels wide
2. Have the following widgets in the panel from top to bottom: Application
Menu, Virtual desktop pager, Task Manager, System Tray, Digital Clock, and Peek
at Desktop
3. In Task Manager settings, choose "Fill free space on Panel"
OBSERVED RESULT
In Plasma 6:
- I think I'm seeing every widget in the panel is min 200-300 pixels height (I
wanted to measure this in edit mode with mouse hovering over individual widgets
to show the precise sizes, but taking a screenshot in Edit Mode hid all the
edit elements)
EXPECTED RESULT
In Plasma 5:
- Application Menu buttons is ~40 pixels tall and others are similarly minimal
- the only widget that grows into available space is the Task Manager

Unrelated but there were also ~10-20 sad faces in the System Tray for what
looked like crashed notifications. This was on my first login to the beta.
