Description poperigby 2021-11-17 21:36:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
If "Window management->Window behavior->Advanced->Window placement" is set to "Maximized", Kickoff is maximized. This also happens if you have a window rule that maximized all normal windows. This only happens in Wayland. X11 behaves as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set "Window management->Window behavior->Advanced->Window placement" to "Maximized".
2. Open Kickoff.

OBSERVED RESULT
Kickoff is maximized.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kickoff is it's normal size.

This also appears to happen with the notification drawer.

Yeah, I saw that one, but I thought this was different enough to make a new bug report.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-11-23 21:50:51 UTC 
Can confirm. No other applets do this as far as I can tell; only Kickoff (cannot reproduce with the Notifications popup). Not sure if it's the same thing as Bug 411462, though.

I can also reproduce with Weather Report and System Monitor Sensor widgets placed on Plasma panel.

Gross. I'll mark it as a duplicate of Bug 411462, then. It seems like there is a way to work around this issue in the applet's own code, seeing as how it does not affect all of them. But still. we should fix it in a generic way so such (undiscovered?) workarounds are not needed.
