Bug 490325

SUMMARY

After updating from Frameworks 6.3.0 to 6.4.0, a font size adjustment setting in `~/.config/krunnerrc` will still change the font size, but the overall size of the `krunner` dialog will no longer adjust itself to the enlarged font size. 

Prior to the most recent update on Tumbleweed, I had used a trick from some very old Reddit posts (~5yrs) to change the font size, which caused the `krunner` dialog to be much larger and easier to notice on my dark theme environment. 

Seems that something was introduced that causes the dialog to now stick to a fixed width. Height still seems to grow the same way it did before, when there are a lot of search results to display. The fixed width also appears to hide the "Delete" icon/button that would normally be in the right end of the search field. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Open your `~/.config/krunnerrc` file and insert these lines: 

```
[General]
font=Noto Sans,20,-1,5,65,0,0,0,0,0
migrated=false
```

Kill the `krunner` process, and invoke the shortcut to start it again. 


OBSERVED RESULT

On Frameworks 6.3.0, the entire dialog will grow to adapt. If it's set to appear in the center of the screen, the search results may even go below the bottom screen edge. 

On Frameworks 6.4.0, the dialog will grown only vertically. The font will still be larger, but will be cut off by the fixed width. 


EXPECTED RESULT

The `krunner` dialog should be allowed to grow vertically and horizontally to adapt to larger font sizes. (Or vice versa.)
