Screenshot

When I open "Edit Window-Specific Settings" window (System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Rules -> New), the bottom buttons are partially visible. See screenshot.

My screen: 1366x768

Resize feature could be added to the window
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2018-04-24 20:52:30 UTC
Confirmed on neon dev unstable (1366x768 resolution).
One more bug for the "usability & productivity" list.

Afaik this is a problem created by the design of the breeze widget style. With other styles the window is reported to fit the screen.
Comment 4 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2018-04-25 08:05:20 UTC
I disagree that this is a style issue. 
The window is large, and cannot be resized bellow a minimal size that is still too large. It should accomodate scrollbar. 
The facts that it fits the screen or not depends not only on the widget style but also (obviously) on the size of the screen, the size of the fonts, etc. 
Reducing the margins of say the widget style, will not, never, fix it in all cases ... The fact that changing widget style makes it fit doesn't change anything to the fact that this window, if large, should have the ability to have scollbars ...

Reassigning, sorry.
I don't think that changing the appearance of _all_ the kde windows, just to accomodate _this_ window to an arbitrary screen size, is a viable solution.

adding usability flag. Lets see if there is input from others on this
Comment 7 Martin Flöser 2018-04-25 18:22:23 UTC
In that case I'm sorry to have it set to wontfix. This issue had already been raised in the past and there the decision was that this is not a KWin issue as it used to work with kde4.
