Panel

SUMMARY

Both panel spacers on my bottom panel became wide/large fixed width even when not in editing mode. The has been there for couple of months on Plasma 6 dev branch, and I can't recall doing anything weird which could have led to this artifact, however I did edit the panel a lot even though its configuration should be more or less default now.

Reproducible with any Plasma theme.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Plasma
2. ???
3. Get wide panel spacers

OBSERVED RESULT
Chonk

EXPECTED RESULT
    <- slim & invisible

Sorry, this whole time I meant Margins Separator.

Also, here is the relevant chunk of my panel containment config.

Cannot reproduce with Breeze. I notice you're using Oxygen; is it reproducible with any other Plasma styles?

It don't happen anymore. Let's assume it was fixed by some recent change.

For the record, it not specific to Oxygen. I just switched themes to make sure that it was not a Breeze theme bug in the first place!
