Created attachment 135781 [details] screenshot Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210215 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.16-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 I'm using a 1920x1080 screen with default scaling/dpi on this machine. The new start menu in Plasma 5.21 looks good, but it's too small to accomodate the content which looks bad. * Text on the top right is cut off. * Categories on the left also don't fit inside the window so you always have to scroll. As it is now, it looks very cramped. It would be great if the start menu window size could be adjusted to fit the contents.
Same issue on Archlinux with Plasma 5.21.0. In attachment, a screenshot in which the insufficient horizontal space is quite visible. I use the Ubuntu fonts, but with the Noto Sans fonts there is a bit more horizontal space.

Seems like your bar with power actions at least has all (?) text written out, because you're not using suspend-to-disk. The spacing between buttons looks random though, compare the space between the left two and the right two actions. Do you know why your top and bottom bars are swapped compared to mine? Is that a setting somewhere?
Indeed, the spacing between buttons is inconsistent. I guess the reason why the top and bottom bars are swapped compared to yours is because my panel is on the bottom of the screen, and yours is probably on top?
Yes, my bar is on the left with the launcher button on the top left.
Yeah, we've gotten a lot of complaints about this from the perspective of people with non-English languages and Hibernation enabled, since it results in the power actions getting elided into gibberish. I quite agree that overall the whole thing is pretty cramped too. I think it could stand to be about 10% bigger. Let's use this bug report to track just the elided power action text issue, and I'd like to ask people to file additional bug reports for other issues. They will all need to be fixed separately.

Git commit 9d9c4f169ed424e976636a6d5fa23c7a1e40576b by Noah Davis. Committed on 19/07/2021 at 06:47. Pushed by ndavis into branch 'master'. Kickoff: Refactor and tweak design Changes: - Now uses implicit content size to set the size of the plasmoid, which fixes translated string elision issues. - Much simpler code. This is a red patch. - Reduced RAM usage. Pages that are not in use are unloaded. The models aren't unloaded, so it shouldn't negatively affect performance in other ways. - Vertical movement and opacity animation when switching from normal page to search view. - Single horizontal movement and opacity animation when switching from applications page to places page. - Opacity animation when switching from favorites grid to apps list. - KickoffListView and KickoffGridView now support PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End shortcuts like lists and grids do on the web. See https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/#grid - KickoffListView/KickoffGridView keyboard navigation disables hovering to change current item for 100ms. It's meant to filter out accidental mouse movement while using the arrow keys to navigate. - Add Ctrl+F shortcut to focus search bar - Focus the next item down when pressing down while the search bar is focused instead of focusing the 1st item. The old kickoff did this and made it faster to select and activate items. - Hovering near the bottom/top of a view no longer rapidly selects a series of new items lower down/higher up that are not yet visible. - Single letter section headers are now horizontally center aligned with icons. - Scroll to switch tabs. - Added pin button to keep the launcher open. - Show tooltips for list/grid items that have elided text. - Padding and spacing are more uniform. - List items have better vertical pixel alignment. - Fixed pixel alignment of arrows in sidebar category items - Sidebar list items line up with main content area list items and section headers - Labels in grid items now have consistent vertical positions. - Fixed error in tools.js with favoriteModel.enabled Related: bug 432270, bug 439140, bug 434736, bug 431913, bug 433146, bug 433241, bug 408313 FIXED-IN: 5.23 M +7 -3 applets/kickoff/package/contents/config/main.xml M +55 -97 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ActionMenu.qml D +0 -142 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsGroupView.qml A +140 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -358 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsView.qml A +88 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BasePage.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0 -55 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BaseView.qml D +0 -70 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Breadcrumb.qml D +0 -41 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ComputerView.qml M +31 -11 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ConfigGeneral.qml A +30 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/EmptyPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -129 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesGridView.qml D +0 -133 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesView.qml A +193 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Footer.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0 -20 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FrequentlyUsedView.qml M +119 -736 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml M +186 -146 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Header.qml A +59 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/HorizontalStackView.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +53 -27 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Kickoff.qml D +0 -93 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridItem.qml M +200 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridView.qml D +0 -175 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItem.qml A +227 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItemDelegate.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] M +211 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffListView.qml A +137 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffSingleton.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +43 -104 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/LeaveButtons.qml A +53 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/NormalPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] A +76 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/PlacesPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -22 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/PlacesView.qml D +0 -18 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/RecentlyUsedView.qml D +0 -87 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SearchView.qml D +0 -42 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SectionDelegate.qml A +61 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/VerticalStackView.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +1 -1 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/code/tools.js A +2 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/qmldir https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/commit/9d9c4f169ed424e976636a6d5fa23c7a1e40576b
