SUMMARY If "Window management->Window behavior->Advanced->Window placement" is set to "Maximized", Kickoff is maximized. This also happens if you have a window rule that maximized all normal windows. This only happens in Wayland. X11 behaves as expected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set "Window management->Window behavior->Advanced->Window placement" to "Maximized". 2. Open Kickoff. OBSERVED RESULT Kickoff is maximized. EXPECTED RESULT Kickoff is it's normal size.

This also appears to happen with the notification drawer.

(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #2) > sort of duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428859 Yeah, I saw that one, but I thought this was different enough to make a new bug report.
Can confirm. No other applets do this as far as I can tell; only Kickoff (cannot reproduce with the Notifications popup). Not sure if it's the same thing as Bug 411462, though.
I can also reproduce with Weather Report and System Monitor Sensor widgets placed on Plasma panel. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Gross. I'll mark it as a duplicate of Bug 411462, then. It seems like there is a way to work around this issue in the applet's own code, seeing as how it does not affect all of them. But still. we should fix it in a generic way so such (undiscovered?) workarounds are not needed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 411462 ***
