Vertical panel with height set to "custom" and resizing bar without handles
Panel resize with breeze light theme and missing handles Left hand panel config |
||
Hmm, works for me with my vertical panel. Not for me. Also, I'm not the only one... see for example this thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1bfihqt/unable_to_resize_the_panel_plasma_6/ It may be related to the theme. See this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/panel-resizing-issue-with-plasma/155812 and this: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php%3Ff=17&t=170404.html I tried several different themes, especially the standard breeze ones (light and dark), but I always get the same problem.

Panel resize with breeze light theme and missing handles
I was able to reproduce the bug on git-master I tried to reproduce using Breeze Dark and one panel, vertical on the left. I set it to custom height. I was not able to reproduce it with this configuration. Then, I noticed in the latest screenshot that there's also a top panel I added a default panel, positioned it on top, and now I see the bug with the left hand panel in edit mode I have tried to reproduce this as described in various ways but with no luck. If this is still happening on master, can I see a video of it please? I still have the problem, but I'm not on master so I don't think my information is valuable.

Left hand panel config
In Edit mode, panel config for the left hand panel
It should have handles at the top and bottom of the bar
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5312 it's pretty easy to reproduce, it needs an horizontal panel *and* a vertical panel, then very probably the handles won't be visible. in that case, the length of the handle window is limited by the same amount of the panel, but if the size is set to be 100%, the handles will be there but outside the visible area of the window. their possible position should probably be constrained A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/3014 Git commit c27dd27bffec16a214db35a5e192ca98a558dd5f by Marco Martin.

Created attachment 174631 [details] Vertical panel with height set to "custom" and resizing bar without handles SUMMARY I am trying to resize a vertical panel's length (i.e. its height), but when I set height to "custom" the bar that appears does not have handles. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a vertical empty panel 2. Put some widgets on it 3. Hit "show panel configuration" 4. Set height to "Custom" OBSERVED RESULT The bar that appears does not have handles EXPECTED RESULT The bar that appears should have handles that let you resize the panel height SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241007 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.3 Kernel Version: 6.11.2-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. I have seen reports that this problem applies only to Wayland. 2. As I'm using a dark theme, I though that maybe the handles were invisible, so I tried to blindly search for them by looking at the mouse cursor and moving the pointer across the entire length of the bar. This way I can actually find the center handle, but the "up" and "down" handles are nowhere to be found.
