SUMMARY

I have a panel that I have converted to a dock. It only has an "Icons-only Task Manager". When I start the system up and enter a Wayland session, the panel appears to be too long. The panel fixes itself when you open an application or if you enter edit mode and exit.

See https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-6-dock-panel-too-long-on-boot/15083 for images.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a panel that contains an "Icons-only Task Manager". Ensure it's set to fit its content, align it to the center, make it float and place it at the bottom of the screen.
2. Reboot.

OBSERVED RESULT

The panel is longer than it needs to be. It fixes itself when activity happens on the panel such as a new application opening or if you attempt to edit the panel.

EXPECTED RESULT

On boot, the panel should fit content.

Thanks for the bug report. I was not able to reproduce this on 6.1.3 (on KDE Neon) or git-master (on Solus). I used the settings you included in the report. The bug may have been fixed.

Can you please re-test on your system with Plasma 6.1.3 and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? Thanks!

I no longer encounter this issue. Unsure when this was resolved since I only recently moved back into Wayland after several updates. Marking as resolved.
