The dropdown menu with all hidden icons can't show more then 8 entries for me. I will add a screenshot to better visualize the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set entries to hidden until you have more than 8 Actual Results: The ninth entry is cut a lot and the others besides the first 8 won't show up Expected Results: Either a scrollbar or a resize of the dropdown menu
Created attachment 89671 [details] The problem
Actually you can scroll with a mousewheel if the pointer is exactly between two entries, but this isn't very handy
This looks like an important issue to me. What do we do?
I think the problem is, that the window has a fixed size, but having it variable will destroy embedded entries (like the media player or plasma-nm). Also a user might want to see all entries at the same time. Maybe the left area could just expand to the left, so that there is a second coloumn?
I don't think that a second column would be very handy. It's unexpected. What's the problem with a variable size? That's the normal behaviour for things like this.
Is there any status on this bug? At least its possible to scroll the list with the mouse button with dragndrop, but you don't see how many items you have there :/
Still the same in the current Plasma 5.4 pre-release. Please add a scrollbar like, for example, the NetworkManager widget.

I left my 2 cents there, and somehow this will lead to ther issues as well

There is scrollbar but you can't really scroll when hovering over the items. You can scroll when cursor is over the scrollbar. I have tried two-finger and mouse middle button to scroll.
