widget behaves wierdly when moved close to dock

SUMMARY
Widgets can't be adjacent to dock as it could in older versions.
Also it decreases height when moved close to dock.
It behaves as intended on some dock heights. I have it set to 44 to get this bug.
May be was fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2535 but I can't test it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place widget on desktop
2. Change dock height to 44 or something
3. Try to put widget as low as you could

OBSERVED RESULT
Widget have some padding above the dock

EXPECTED RESULT
Lower bound of the widget perfectly aligns with dock

Some of these issues are indeed resolved by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2535, but it's intentional that there's a bit of space between the Panel and desktop widgets.

You actually can align it with panel on different heights, so since it inconsistent it doesn't seem to be intended.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-02-08 20:39:24 UTC 
It *is* intended. If we align perfectly, then we have to offset the grid based on the panel height. Doing that was one cause of widgets moving around after boot.
