Description Martin Rieff 2022-06-17 11:40:30 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a plasma panel
2. Move the panel between screen edges at various speeds (preferably from top/bottom to side and vice versa)
(It might not happen on the first move so try to move the panel a few more times)

OBSERVED RESULT
Moving the panel to a screen edge modifies the panel size and makes the panel flicker
The size changed from 22px to 34px and from 44px to 34px without user input

EXPECTED RESULT
The panel should keep a constant size and not flicker while moved between screen edges

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
Kernel Version: 5.18.3-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My first bug report

Could be probably because of a missing package/dependency?
I had another problem in the past and it was fixed by installing the missing xdg-desktop-portal package.

It seems that a qt5 update made the bug less worse.

This moves all panel options in a single dialog that floats near the panel.
