Description Enrico Tagliavini 2016-05-06 06:59:13 UTC 
As stated in comment 22 bug #350825 . Since the update to kf5 5.12.0 the battery and brightnes applet, when used from a panel, has a very small popup, hard to see / use. It's smaller than the one popping up when used from the systray, which works better. See bug #350825 for some screenshot

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add the battery widget to a panel
2. open the battery widget from a panel
3. compare the pop up size with the one from the battery widget from the systray

Actual Results:  
Notice the size difference between the two, sometimes, when many elements are present in the widget (multiple batteries, brightness controls or applications preventing the power management) some of them might be unreachable due to the size of the window and the lack of scroll possibility. Also the battery information section is reduced too much in size in such situation

Expected Results:  
The networks battery window should be bigger when used from the panel, ideally the same size as when used from the systray. If needed some additional adjustment to accommodate when a lot of elements are present filling also a bigger window.

Currently battery widget popup is smaller that popup from tray icon - but it's in manageable size for me.

Yes, slightly smaller but not unreasonable.
