The Task Bar pic showing a huge App Launcher icon

Description local10 2023-02-01 08:42:53 UTC
SUMMARY
The latest KDE upgrade to 5.26.90 (see the enclosed log) resulted in the Application Launcher widget's icon becoming a huge, ridiculous size (see the enclosed pic) It's now about 10 times larger than what it used to be before the upgrade and, respectively, takes 10 times more space on the task bar.

I tried, without success:

  1. Removing the App Launcher from the Task Bar and then adding it back again
  2. Changing the App Launcher icon to another icon (it was also huge ) and then reverting back to the default
  3. Logging out of KDE and then logging back in again

I'm filing this bug FYI, in case if you guys want to fix it. My solution was to switch to the Application Menu widget where the icon still has a sane size.


EXPECTED RESULT
The Application Launcher icon should have an appropriate size as it still does in the Application Menu widget.
