SUMMARY
Since one of the last upgrade I made, my default application launcher became extremely huge, centered, taking all the height of the screen.
Other launchers are not affected, only the default one.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the launcher
2. Let it display
3. See how big it is.

OBSERVED RESULT
The application launcher (default one on kde neon) is so big, icons are at least twice their normal size, the launcher is centered and takes all the height of the screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
Launcher with normal size, and little icons.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

That's extremely odd.

Did you change any of the icon sizes in System Settings > Icons > Configure Icon Sizes?

Are you using a non-default Icon theme?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-10-28 15:58:27 UTC
Oh and one more question: I notice you're using a 3rd-party Plasma theme. Does it return to the proper size properly if you use the default Breeze Plasma theme?
Comment 3 Altery Disroot 2021-10-28 16:25:34 UTC
Hi, 
thanks for helping me.
About the icons size, I didn't change anything.
The problem remains whatever change I make in the appearance settings.
I tried to set everything to default, the launcher is still that huge.
It already happened once before, a few weeks ago. I thought it was my fault, since I customized my plasma desktop a lot, but when I reinstalled a virgin KDE Neon, at first everything was fine, but after some update, the app launcher got as big as it was the first time.
I have no idea what happened and if I made a mistake somewhere or not.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-10-28 17:12:33 UTC
You did change the Plasma theme to something else; I can see from your screenshot. If you change back to the Breeze Plasma theme, does the problem immediately go away, or does it persist?

I reset everything to default, but that didn't change anything.

Well, *something* has to be causing this. :) 

Any ideas, Noah?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2021-12-04 20:10:07 UTC
Are you using X11, or Wayland?

I'm using x11.
Comment 9 Altery Disroot 2021-12-04 20:36:00 UTC
It happens *just like this* with the naturaliste flow of updates. None if the alternative menus/launchers were affected, only default one, centered and too big icons.
