Bug in action

SUMMARY
While having the "Fill empty space" option checked, the Task Manager on a vertical panel seems to have a set minimum height that makes spacers not work properly. Once this minimum height is exceeded, spacers start to work properly. Horizontal panels do not seem to be affected by this bug.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a VERTICAL panel with an Icon-Only Task Manager between two spacers
2. Uncheck the "Fill empty space" option in it's settings

OBSERVED RESULT
Task Manager is off-center.

EXPECTED RESULT
Center the Task Manager properly.

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37

It also seems like that empty space should be added on the other side.

Does it work better if you make your panel horizontal?

Is the Task Manager a "Task Manager" or an "Icons-Only Task Manager"?

Hi, It's the Icons-Only Task Manager. About the empty space, I don't think there should be any in the first place, it's preventing the spacers from centering the Task Manager. This only affects vertical panels, horizontal ones center just fine.

This bug report is also a follow up to the bug I submitted a couple hours ago: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467385

I can also reproduce that. It centers problem in my horizontal panel, but not my vertical panel.

Centers *properly*!

Any ideas, Niccolò?
