It's fairly easy to reproduce: 1.: Start with the default panel 2.: Remove the task manager (launcher, pager, systray and clock remain) 3.: Unlock, use the minimum slider of the panel and set it well below required size 4.: Lock the desktop widgets again 5.: If no immediate clipping happens, log out and start a new session 6.: On startup, panel will grow slightly above minimum size, but not nearly enough - clock will only be half-visible It's not just a visibility glitch; there's nothing next to the panel border that would react to clicks. This bug harks back to early KDE4 days. Visit the URL, watch the little screencast of mine or one of the screenshots, that's still happening in plasma next. I did hope for it, but it seems that part was not rewritten. Reproducible: Always
Confirming. Thanks.
