We redid the legend for Plasma 5.22. It now uses a dynamic multi column layout, which should fix this issue. |
Created attachment 130263 [details] widget showing cpu usage of 8 cores SUMMARY When multiple sensors are added to the widget, the sensors are listed in legend vertically, even when horizontal space is available STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add system monitor sensor widget to desktop 2. With 'show sensors legend' enabled, add multiple sensors. For eg. all cpu cores' usage 3. expand the widget to appropriate size so all elements are visible OBSERVED RESULT The widget takes lot of vertical space to list every sensor since they are only listed vertically EXPECTED RESULT Horizontal space should be appropriately utilised. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This may not seem like a problem when a couple of sensors are added. But even with 8 core systems, the wasted space is clearly apparent. For higher end ryzen systems with 32 or 64 threads, it would either not fit in or take entire screen space
