Created attachment 131349 [details] screenshot STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. right-click on wallpaper, choose "Add widgets" 2. type random characters in the search field 3. OBSERVED RESULT as we can see in the attached screenshot, vertical scroll bar is enabled despite there is nothing to be scrolled EXPECTED RESULT no scroll bar when there is nothing to scroll SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2
This was deliberate at the time. Changing the scrollbar changed the width which changed how text wrapped which could change how many items got shown which changed whether you need a scrollbar which changed the width.... I don't want to see that bug back.
If we need the width of the scrollview to not change, maybe we could just add empty space on the right side where the scrollbar would be. That would still be ugly, but probably better than showing a full scrollbar when the view isn't scrollable.
In testing this out, I no longer see the bug that David describes.
