panel icons getting smaller.png

Description keharuan 2018-03-13 22:59:51 UTC
Hello.if u keep adding things to the panel via ' pin to task manager',  each subsequent icon in the panel becomes smaller and smaller.  Im running kde neon latest version with kernel 4.15

shrinking icons when 'pin to task manager'.png

check out the bottom left corner. this happens only when using the   ' 
pin to task manager option'. each icon added becomes smaller.   this 
doesnt happen when using 'add to panel (widget)'.


By the way this is when u click the 'start button' and right click on 
any of the applications to add them to the panel.

Launchers pinned to the task bar are smaller than icon widgets on the panel. Your description looks as though the icons keep shrinking the more you add.
Comment 4 keharuan 2018-03-14 18:10:05 UTC
   Yes the more u add the smaller they become. The first one starts off
   fine. Each subsequent one becomes smaller. Then at a certain smaller
   size they stop getting any smaller(i think its by the 4th icon that
   the size becomes stable)
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2018-03-14 19:51:17 UTC
I think this is just a quirk of the relative sizes of the apps you pinned: Opera happens to have the biggest icon, then Konsole, then Dolphin, then Thunderbird. Can you try pinning them in a different order and attaching a new screenshot?

ive tried with all sorts of permutations. this definitely is not just a 
quirk.

Well that's weird.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2019-11-04 21:16:57 UTC
Never seen this in the wile outside of this bug report. If you're still able to reproduce this with Plasma 5.17, can you attach a screen recording?
