Bug 363692

I can resize the height of the window to 460 pixel, it produces scrollbars within the window, but it's entirely usable (if not a beauty queen).

Could you post a screenshot of your setup?

You can always move up windows by pressing the ALT key and dragging the window from anywhere within, by the way.

The list on the wikipedia page you quote is from 2012, there has been a lot of development in the market for screens, so I'm not sure it still is one of the most important resolutions (we don't see it very often). That is unrelated to this issue, though.

Screenshot showing the issue

I've taken a two-screen screenshot, but the issue is independent of having one or two screens active. I've taken the screenshot with a delay so that you can see me try to make the window less tall. The part of the window going over the edge into the black part is missing on-screen. Geometry info is included because of that (and a convenient option in the system settings).

And you're saying you can't reduce the height further? (As I said, I can, and it produces scrollbars in that case.)

Could you make sure you're running Plasma 5.5.5 (kinfocenter helps)?

I know, I even have the option enable to allow dragging by clicking on empty space without pressing alt. That didn't allow me to drag the window beyond the top of the screen. But this has worked... I guess there is some workspace-configuration interaction here.

I'm not alone, almost 40% has a vertical resolution of 768:

Sadly enough, this won't change quickly. Many laptops models still have ‘just’ HD resolution as the standard configuration, certainly for business laptops.

Indeed, I can make it larger, but not smaller than those dimensions. I will go through possibly relevant systemsettings to see whether it is due to a configuration option.

Yes: KDE 5.5.5, Qt 5.5.1, X 11.704.000, OpenGL 3.0

Which frameworks version are you running, especially kcmutils?

5.21.0

Also, do you get the scrollbars when you open this module through systemsettings? How did you start it?

Yes.

krunner, so it runs without systemsetting's enclosure.

I tried with other kcm modules, and they exhibit have the same issue, so this is not kscreen-specific. I'm changing the product.

@sebas are you sure it's a problem in kcmshell? I'd say it's the kscreen kcm suggesting a too big minimum size...

Well, the scrollbar container seems to be part of systemsettings. If it were part of each component, this issue wouldn't be there.

Is there a minimum assumed resolution that kcm writers should adhere to?

Indeed, duplicates. I suggest keeping one and marking it confirmed.
