This is the current release, with the too large icons

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
The latest release of KDE removed the "Icon size" option in the "Icons only task manager", resulting in icons matching the taskbar width, but in height only when the options "Arrange icons in rows in as of many columns" and the "Maximum columns" is greater than two.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the panel width to 120px or greater
2. Move the panel to the left or right side
3. Use the "Icons only task manager"
4. Under the "Icons only task manager" configuration panel, set maximum columns to 3 or greater
5. Set the checkbox for "Always arrange tasks ..." to enabled
6. Hit OK to update the panel

OBSERVED RESULT
The icons are too tall

EXPECTED RESULT
The icons should be square

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kernel: 5.19.0-23-generic
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.10 (with kde backport PPAs)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There used to be an option for "Icon size" which changed the height of these icons, but this option seems to have been removed in either this version or a previous version

What it used to look like (approx, I don't have a screenshot)

Comment 2 PRIZ ;] 2022-10-23 02:49:35 UTC

I forgot to mention that merely hitting 'Apply' in the 6th step won't update the panel, you should hit 'OK'

Comment 3 PRIZ ;] 2022-10-23 17:11:21 UTC

I played with the width of the taskbar, and the icon heights changed accordingly. This is a simple case of forgetting to scale both dimensions. This seems like an easy `icon.height = taskbar.width / taskbar.columnCount` to me, or something along those lines

Progress indicator too large

Likely the same issue as before, it is scaling to the taskbar width instead of the icon width

Comment 5 PRIZ ;] 2023-02-20 04:46:08 UTC

Update:
This does not appear to be an issue with the regular "Task Manager" (not "Icons-only Task Manager")
However, I would still like to use the icons-only task manager since it puts pinned items first

Still an issue with:
Operating System: Kubuntu 22.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 5.19.0-24-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Comment 6 PRIZ ;] 2023-04-28 21:33:13 UTC

Still present in the following version:
Operating System: Kubuntu 23.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.2.0-20-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Perhaps related to bug 466566?

This was fixed in Plasma 6.1.
