Can't reproduce bug in:

KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches
Plasma: 5.11.2
Frameworks: 5.40.0
Qt: 5.9.1
Kernel: 4.10.0-38-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

Also tried to change panel height - no cramping. But cramped rendering is still present in vertical panel position.

Memory Usage widget in Text Only mode on a panel

I have tried the Memory Usage widget on a horizontal panel in a few modes, and while it looks different from the original screenshot, it doesn't really look well.

1. In Text Only mode, it shows some trimmed number (4.0 or 4.1 in my case). See the attached screenshot. The number doesn't seem to represent allocated or free memory in GiB (at the time of taking the screenshot, I had ~2.9 of 16 GiB allocated). There is enough space available on the panel, so there should be no need to trim the text.

2. In Line Chart mode, the widget simply does not display anything. The panel shows as if there was no Memory Usage widget at all.

3. On Bar Chart mode, the widget shows one bar with no legends or numerical representation. In Bar Chart Details tab, Show Sensors Legends is enabled.

4. When I first added the widget it was working in the Pie Chart mode, and it was showing a pie chart with legends. However, when I switched to another mode and then back to Pie Chart, the widget was not displaying anything at all, as in Line Chart mode.

5. Navigating the widget settings tends to crash Plasma, as reported in bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429585.

I did not test in on a vertical panel.

The info provided in the previous comment.

Fixed in the new System Monitor applets in Plasma 5.19 and beyond.
Comment 9 Lastique 2021-03-09 09:09:28 UTC
It does not seem fixed to me:

- If you select Text Only mode and press Apply, nothing is displayed. This does not change if I drop sensors to the Text Only Sensors in the Sensor Details tab.
- Often, after changing display style and navigating settings tabs, Plasma crashes.
- If Plasma crashed and restarted while in Text Only style, some text appears. The text is abbreviated to "3.8 ..." (similar to my earlier screenshot) in my case while there is 2.58 GiB of 16 Gib RAM allocated and 8MiB swap allocated (according to other widgets and System Monitor app). So I don't understand what number the widget shows.
- In Bar Chart mode, also nothing is displayed. But after a Plasma crash I've seen one bar displayed once.

Those seem like different bugs. Can you open new bug reports for them, rather than re-purposing this one for it? Thanks!

I'm not sure what's "fixed" in this one then, but here you are: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434189.
