Created attachment 111859 [details] Elisa quarter-tiled Elisa nightly Flatpak build from kdeapps repo on Kubuntu 17.10 My current favorite music player, Lollypop, handles being quarter-tiled on my 1080p display very gracefully, and without any design or functionality compromises. I tried the same with Elisa and found a bunch of bugs: - Some UI elements overflow their frames - Sidebar text is way too big - The top header (with the blurry background) remains too large and takes up too much of the limited space - Playlist panel header text and icons are way too big - Text in the playlist panel gets elided and is mostly unreadable - In general, the area devoted to content becomes small compared to the area for chrome Screenshots attached. The font used for both apps is Ubuntu 11.

Elisa requires a minimum window size so that we work around these issues, but quarter-tiling ignores that. It doesn't work here as well, so I have to think about some solutions
Thanks for your report. I have started working on https://phabricator.kde.org/T9640 to fix this.
