SUMMARY This affects both the plasma system-monitor app and the plasma widget. I've got a 16C/32T machine so when I use the "Individual core usage" preset I should see 32 bars (duh). Instead no bars are displayed. That seems to be caused by the fact that bars now do not have a minimum width (whereas the widget as a whole seems to have a maximum width). So if you start from one core sensors (or any other sensor) and you keep adding up the other cores one by one you'll see that the bars look fine initially. But then, as you add cores, they get thinner and thinner until they get under one pixel width an then they become invisible. It used to work in 5.21. But I can't say anything about 5.22 since I use debian and we went from 5.21 to 5.23 directly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Simplest way is to use "Individual core usage" widget (or preset) with a machine with 16c/32t 2. Otherwise just start adding sensors (any sensor) to the widget until you get to about 20 and then you'll see non bars anymore. 3. OBSERVED RESULT With a high number of sensors the bars get under one pixel width and therefore they become invisible EXPECTED RESULT Bars with a minimum width even with a high number of sensors.

I can get a maximum of 19 sensor bars to visibly show in "Bar Chart" mode no matter how wide I stretch the widget. At 20+ sensor bars the bars are no longer visible. The issue has definitely been present in all of the 5.23 releases, and I believe the issue was also present in some of the later 5.22 releases if i remember correctly.

My current system details: Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-40-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
Created attachment 144506 [details] screenshot of bug in widget I've added a screenshot of the bug. I have a 12C/24T machine, but I'm sure it used to show the bars correctly at some point this year (around spring time?). As you can see, some cores are used, but no bars are shown. There are some pixels at the very bottom of the chart that might me parts of the bars, but they're too small to tell.
