Expected behavior of widget sizing.

Description mevatron 2017-11-01 15:04:57 UTC 
I recently upgrade to KDE neon 5.11.2 and the Connection editor applet doesn't seem to respect the various component sizes anymore, so the window is much more squished than it should be by default.

I don't believe this was occurring in 5.11.1 and definitely not before that release. So, maybe a bug with the component sizing was introduced in 5.11.2?

Thanks!
Will

I belive this is a general issue, other applets seem to have similar problem. We definitely didn't change something what could possibly break this.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2017-11-02 15:55:08 UTC 
Not a window manager issue.
Comment 3 mevatron 2017-11-02 16:50:25 UTC 
Thanks for the info! Do you guys know where this bug should go?
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2017-11-09 11:36:50 UTC 
If this also affects other applets, it is a Plasma issue.
Comment 5 mevatron 2018-01-04 15:17:04 UTC 
Just to add more details to this bug. This behavior only happens when I boot initially with an external HDMI monitor plugged in. If I boot and then later plug in the external monitor the network settings GUI behaves properly.

Setting back to invalid. As said in comment #2: this is not an issue in the window manager.

Do I put this under the plasmashell then? I'm just trying to get the bug in front of the correct developer :)
Comment 8 mevatron 2018-01-05 18:08:11 UTC 
Moving to plasmashell. Hopefully, this is the correct spot :)
Comment 9 David Edmundson 2018-01-22 10:43:14 UTC 
I don't understand. 
Can you attach a screenshot then reset the bug status to unconfirmed.

This is a screenshot of the actual behavior upon start.

Expected behavior of widget sizing.

This is what I would expect to happen with widget sizing on launch, and used to occur in older (I believe <=5.9-10) releases.

Hi David,

I've attached two screenshots showing actual vs. expected behavior.

Hope that helps!

Comment 13 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-01-22 17:38:58 UTC 
Most likely has to do with KCMultiDialog now having scroll bars. Previously it would forcefully expand to the minimum size given, now it can stay smaller.
Comment 14 Christoph Feck 2018-02-16 01:37:37 UTC 
The KCM shell adds scrollbars to help modules needing more space than is available on the screen. This, however, requires that modules correctly set their minimum size. You can see this issue with some modules.

kcmshell5 --list | tail -n+2 | awk '{print$1}' | xargs -L1 kcmshell5

I do not think this can be solved at a single location.
