Is there anything I can help with to get this issue fixed? Thanks for the bug report. Sorry it's taken a while to get noticed. The two options most likely to lead to a fix are to investigate the code and submit a patch, or pay someone else to do so. That said, in my testing the issue does not seem to be present in Plasma 6, so let's call it fixed. This is plausible as a *ton* of work has gone into squashing panel bugs in Plasma 6. |
Created attachment 164695 [details] Panel resize loop demo and repo steps SUMMARY *** When using a panel spacer along with a panel that can resize dynamically, the spacer makes the panel go into a resize loop / bounce and becomes unusable. Video attached showing the issue. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a spacer to the panel 2. Make the Panel min width smaller than the max 3. Make the panel expand. Opening applications is the faster way. OBSERVED RESULT The panel starts a resize/bounce loop and becomes unusable. EXPECTED RESULT The panel should resize to fit the content SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Debian 12 - clean install KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8
