An application can set a minimum window size.

KWin has to respect that, doing anything else would put a client in a horrible weird state. Kwin can't put scrollbars inside an app.

You can sometimes work around this by alt+left click to move a window to see everything

You can also report a bug against the original application. 

Kwin can't do anything, sorry.
