Created attachment 145487 [details] Screenshots with right dock length 100-99-98% SUMMARY I'm not sure if this issue is a bug or improvement (feature?) request. It seems latte-dock has an alignment problem whan the user prefers a combination of horizontal (top and/or bottom) and vertical (left and/or right) docks, which is presently assumed to work automatically I guess. Actually this automatic alignment seems to work a bit but not fully. For instance, I can adjust the height of my top dock/panel here: (which is currently set as 24px as the best possible option for me) As for the height of my right dock/panel (sidebar): Edit Dock... > Appearance > Length > Maximum (which is currently set as 98% as the best possible option for me) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a floating dock to sit at the top right corner of the screen edge (Alignment: Right); add the System Tray widget; and set the height of the dock as 24 px via: Edit Dock... > Appearance > Items > Absolute size (length doesn't matter, although I have chosen 40% so that I can have a floating dock at the center, displaying time and date etc., and another one at the top left, displaying menu, window title and menu bar) 2. Create a floating dock to sit at the right edge of the screen (Alignment: Justify); set the "Absolute size" of "Items" as 256 px; and add, for example, Analog Clock, Calculator, and Media Player widgets, from top to bottom (Length: 100%) OBSERVED RESULT 1. The top and bottom margins (padding?) of the top dock are not equal. It seems the bottom margin is a bit excessive. 2. The top edge of the right dock (sidebar) overlaps with the bottom margin of the top dock, probably because of the problem above (Changing the Length value to 99% or 98% can somehow fix the overlap issue but it's not quite perfect) EXPECTED RESULT Left/Right (vertical) docks/panels with Alignment set as Justify should have their top edge next to the inner edges of Top/Bottom (horizontal) docks/panels. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. The 100% length case looks like a bug, please send me your layout file producing that issue and tell me which plasma theme you are using, there is a chance that it is your plama theme fault. 2. Is it reproducable with Breeze plasma theme? 3. The 99% and 98% cases look as they should.

(In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #1) I changed my Plasma theme to Breeze but it made no difference. My tempoary workaround is changing Alignment to Bottom, adding a couple of Latte Spacer widgets, and fine-tuning...

feel free to open a new bug report if something still does not work correctly! I really enjoyed fixing this...
