Is this the first time you've ever opened that window, or is there a chance that you've opened it in the past, and made it small by accident? I ask because this window remembers its previous size. But I cannot reproduce the issue; when I open it for the first time, it opens at a nice spacious size, and the code seems to support this: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/tree/kcms/activities/imports/dialog.cpp#n139

What is your screen resolution, and are you using a scale factor greater than 1?
Comment 2 Marcin Gurtowski 2019-12-06 17:37:19 UTC
I changed my monitor recently to a much bigger one and while my scale is still set to 1, I use larger fonts (due to display bugs on scales different that 1). This might be reason why this is happening.

Yup, that's it. This is not a supported setup to achieve display scaling. I would recommend using the official scaling system and reporting bugs as necessary so we can fix them. :)
Comment 4 Ivan Čukić 2019-12-08 14:26:27 UTC
This still is a bug and Marcin (even if he uses an 'unsupported' setup) explained what whould happen quite precisely - the window should either scroll its contents, or not allow going below a predefined size.
