I also have the same issue. I have a couple of widgets for disk monitoring and 2 out of the 6 gets resized after a restart. It's been happening since 6.2

It still appears. I cannot take a screen recording because I need to re-boot for the problem to recur.

Comment 9 TraceyC 2025-02-12 21:44:20 UTC

I'm not able to reproduce this on Plasma 6.3.0 or on git-master on another laptop
I had been having this problem with a weather widget on 6.2.5, and that widget is now keeping it's size on the same machine in 6.3.0. 

I'll leave this open to see if anyone else can still reproduce on 6.3.0, or 6.3.1 when that's released.
