SUMMARY
The 'Text only' monitors cut short and no longer resize the text.
Was fine on Plasma 6, now a problem with 6.1.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add system monitor widget to taskbar panel
2. Set to text only
3. Resize the bar panel: observe it keeps the text at smallest size
4. Set long text, e.g. 'Download': observe it cuts the text

OBSERVED RESULT
Text is cut short, and text doesn't resize.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text isn't cut short, and text resizes with the bar size.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Fedora 40, KDE Plasma 6.1.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Another issue: when you add more than one 'Text only' monitor, it stacks them vertically, rather than horizontally on the bar. (This was always the case, i.e. with Plasma 6.0 too.) Workaround is to create multiple system monitor widgets.

With system tray, so you can more clearly see it's not resizing.
