The bottom part of the application in the maximized window is hidden.

SUMMARY
If you run some application in a maximized window with a floating panel, then a small lower part of the program window will be hidden behind the panel. There will be no hiding if the panel is already pinned to the bottom of the screen. The window starts to display normally if you hover over the icons on the panel or open another window in the application itself (for example, in Kate when opening Help-About KDE) or switch the language with hot keys. Also, hiding may disappear on its own after some time (within one minute, as far as I have observed).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable floating panel effect.
2. Launch some application in the expanded window.

OBSERVED RESULT
The bottom part of the maximized application window is hidden behind the panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
The maximized application window must be fully displayed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Current video driver version: NVIDIA 560.35.03. Resolution: 1920x1080 (16:9). Scale: 100%. Unable to reproduce the bug when screen recording is enabled (the window is displayed normally).

Can you upload a screenshot of your panel settings? It looks like me you have selected "Windows go Below" option for the visibility. If so choose some other option there.

Screenshot added. The only thing I changed was the height of the panel from the default 44 to 48. But returning to 44 does not solve the problem.

Thanks for the info. I can reproduce it too. Problem is with the always visible setting. If it's the case it should be fixed in Plasma 6.2.0
