ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have 2 monitor setup, 1980x1020 (primary) and 900x1440 (secondary) monitor. The 1st monitor connected by DP and the 2nd one connected by HDMI. I set my monitor, so the top  border of both monitor isn't lineup. When I maximize windows in my primary monitor, the floating panel isn't maximized. However, sometime if I disable my 2nd monitor, then enabled it again, the panel is maximized if I maximize windows in my primary monitor. But it's not consistent and will not work again after reboot.
Meanwhile, if I set my monitor so the top border lineup, the floating panel work perfectly. It will maximized when I maximize windows in my primary monitor, and not maximized when I maximize windows in my 2nd monitor.

Not able to reproduce this in Plasma 6. Let's asusme it's fixed there until there's some indication to the contrary.
