Description arne anka 2016-06-01 19:32:19 UTC

starting with one of the latest updates, the title bar of windows is all of a sudden at least one third higher than before.
although buttons, icon and title font all are small, there's  a huge empty space around wich apparently cannot be removed by any configuration.

please, fix.

Reproducible: Always

screenshot illustration wasted space for huge titlebar

as you can see, both the close button and the icon are small -- there's no need (let alone justification) for that waste of screen space

Hi,
Thanks for reporting
Strange though. nothing has changed in breeze window decoration for a long time now, and I cannot reproduce here. 
Not sure how to debug it. Does something similar happens with other decorations ? (oxygen ? Plastique ?)

Comment 3 arne anka 2016-06-03 20:13:50 UTC

difficult to say, since I never used Plastik and it is a long time since oxygen.
currently , only Plastik is installed additionally, and its titlebar is only marginally smaller -- OTOH the title font there is huge, although it should be the same size as for Breeze.

it seems to be caused by be a change in the core of kde5, since 
- the minimum height of the digital clock widget required to show time and date in two rows increased considerably, forcing me to enlarge the panel height by at least 1/3
- the font size in the network manager widget's popup for the connection status and in/out bytes has also increased and is out of any proprtion to the font size used for the connection name (see attachment)

illustrate broken propoprtions

compare the somewhat plausibly sized font of the connection names (Wired, M42) with the ridiculously oversized grey font for connection status ("Connected")

thanks for the screenshot. Not sure if this is related, but indeed, it seems all your "proportions" have been broken for some reason. I wonder if something has changed in the  way plasma calculates it's "dpi-independent" scale factors. (which are then applied everywhere, in QML as well as in the window decoration).

I've cc'd plasma devs to this report.

Comment 6 arne anka 2016-07-01 22:34:07 UTC

seems to be fixed with the latest update of several k* and plasma* packages in sid.
titlebar is again pleasantly small, font sizes in eg network manager are also right again.
