Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: gcc 4.3.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages When I switch on/off all desktop effects or individual effects separately, plasma panel becomes bigger. Steps to reproduce: 1. Resize panel (to make less than the default). 2. Turn desktop effects off. 3. Turn desktop effects on. 4. Turn desktop effects off. 5. Turn desktop effects on. ... Expected behaviour: Panel should be the same size with and without desktop effects.

Now I use Qt 4.5rc1 with KDE 4.2, but as far as I remember the same problem with Qt 4.4.2.
The problem is still there after updating to Qt 4.5 and KDE 4.2.1.
i have the same problem (opensuse 11.1, kde 4.2.1, qt 4.5), but it also happens, when i change the plasma design.
Have the same problem (archlinux latest, kdemod 4.2.2, qt 4.5). It happens when i shitch desktop effects on and off, change plasma themes and switch between internal and external displays on my laptop.

Same problem on kde 4.3 dev and qt 4.5.1. This also happens when you change plasma theme - panels loose their defined size (if they are smaller than default).
i have the same problem (kubuntu 9.04, kde 4.2.3, qt 4.5), Please, vote the bug for a fast confirmation.

I am experiencing the same bug on openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.2.3 from the KDE:42 Build Service repositories and Qt 4.5.1. I just wanted to add some more information. Things that don't affect this strange behaviour: * Locking the widgets or leaving them unlocked. * Whether compositing is initially enabled or disabled. Notes: * It affects all existing panels, even empty ones. * The "final" size of each panel depends on its contents.

from 194445: This happen when restarting kwin manually. This happen on an empty panel This doesn't happen when the panel height is greater than default.
I have similar problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194938

I have same results, but the way to get them is another, so is it really a duplicate?
Is this related to bug 186975?

Playing around with the panel a little, it seems only to expand until a specific amount of padding is between the top of the panel and the plasmoids it contains (with KRuler, I estimate about 8 pixels). When the panel is at least 37 pixels high (again, estimated with KRuler), the top padding remains the same, and the panel does not resize. However, when it's shorter, the amount of padding along the top decreases. Toggling compositing on and off causes it to enlarge until a padding width of 8 pixels is obtained. By enlarging the panel, the top padding doesn't increase after the panel has surpassed a certain width, however, it decreases as the panel's width decreases (past that magic point). Is there a hard coded padding width that someone can change, or a setting in one of the configs that would be easy to modify? It doesn't look like it would be difficult to fix, but if the width is hard coded, someone with more experience with Qt than me will have to do it (my C++/Qt skills aren't that amazing yet).

I have installed KDE 4.3.1 and I still see this bug happen. Did the backport make it into this release? By the way, bug #203474 is a dup of this bug and it's still open (and other user confirmed there it is still present in 4.3.1). My easiest way to reproduce it is to make the panel small (about 30px heigh) and change the plasma theme (from Air to Aya and back).
This is also reproducible with a recent KDE from trunk (compiled this morning) To my surprise, after changing the plasma theme several times in a row, KWin died... I'll do some tests about this issue tomorrow :-)
I still see this bug in kde 4.3.1 (kubuntu)
Strange, kde 4.3.0 and I'm not able to confirm it. Will wait for 4.3.1 packages, maybe something happened there. Indeed kwin dies after switching themes a bit. Is is possible to restart it, I cannot open konsole or anything.
Kubuntu's KDE 4.3.1 packages (Jaunty backports, probably also Karmic) do not have this fix. I've uploaded a package with the patch to my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nx/+archive/kdeppa
Just updated kde to 4.3.1 on opensuse - problem is back! I can confirm it just by enabling / disabling effects.
apparently the fix has been reverted :-( http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1015419
*** Bug 203474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
So, why this commit was reverted? Could anyone reopen the bug, as the issue is still here?
confirm, it's still in kde 4.3.1
@Marco: can you take a look at this ? Thanks
*** Bug 206741 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 205805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Bug 205383 probably is also a duplicate.
I can confirm this on kubuntu 4.3.1 backports (for 9.04), would be nice if it got fixed, because it's really annoying when I use my laptop, cause I switch compositing constantly to save battery.

fixed in r1026902, /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/desktop/containments/panel/panel.cpp don't resize the panel on themeUpdated()
The latest revision in trunk is 1026738… Could you please give a link to r1026902?
the websvn interface hasn't yet updated. anyway if you do svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/desktop/containments/panel you'll download r1026902 for panel.cpp
sorry, r1026929
Thanks!
(In reply to comment #52) > fixed in r1026902, > /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/desktop/containments/panel/panel.cpp > don't resize the panel on themeUpdated() Could you backport it (again) to 4.3? Thank you!

I still see this bug in kde 4.3.2 (karmic koala). This bug is really annoying.
Here on Karmic Koala, the bug does appear to have been fixed.
Yes, in Arch Linux running 4.3.2 the problem is also fixed. Thanks.
I can confirm that this bug is fixed in Karmic Koala/KDE 4.3.2. Installed version of kdebase-workspace is 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1. Thanks for fix + backport! I had a lot of panels and this bug was killing me!
After the last upgrade the bug does appear to have been fixed. I'm sorry for the my last wrong report.
