Description Christo 2016-07-07 22:51:54 UTC

it would be an advance in productivity to have mousewheel-support in the systemtray's dropdown-widget ( in german titled "Status & Benachrichtigungen" )

also the default height of this widget it way small for a big screen ... please add resizing that persists.

thank you

<3 KDE

Reproducible: Always

Are you using Plasma 4 or Plasma 5? If unsure, please specify the openSUSE version.

Comment 2 Christo 2016-07-12 19:00:14 UTC

plasma-version is 5 .. Distro is OpenSuse LEAP 42.1
