Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2014-10-15 20:04:41 UTC 
The Alternatives dialog glitches around when it opens, probably because now there are so many alternatives for the clock (analog, digital, fuzzy, and the calendar) that a scrollbar appears and this confuses it. The dialog does not even end up the same size all the time, which can be seen when it is opened multiple times (which shouldn't be possible in the first place)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have kdeplasma-addons installed
2. Right click digital clock in your panel (it's a top panel here, glitches even worse with bottom one)
3. 

Actual Results:  
Dialog jumps around and flickers, ends up in varying sizes

Expected Results:  
Dialog appears smoothly

Apparently the recent changes in Plasma dialog broke the size calculations for the alternatives dialog, here also the kickoff Alternatives (listing just two entries) has a scrollbar with the second item being cutoff half although there would be plenty of space to expand the dialog to show all items.
