Created attachment 157910 [details] Depicts the state of my system tray dropdown menu. SUMMARY *** When my global scale is set to 150 -- as works best for my slightly elevated DPI -- the system tray dropdown menu takes up the majority of the screen when opened. See attached photo. The laptop's native resolution is 3:2, 2256x1504. This is not the case when the same resolution is achieved by setting global scale to 75 % but forcing font DPI up to 192 -- which I'd do, except it plays ball very poorly with GTK-4 apps, which become irretrievably small. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place system tray applet in latte dock 2. open system tray dropdown 3. frown at the ugliness OBSERVED RESULT See attached photo. EXPECTED RESULT system tray dropdown menu should be proportional in width to the widget itself, and not use so much blank space. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch, Zen kernel 6.2.9, KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This all occurs on Wayland. Not sure at present if it occurs on X11, which I don't really use.
In this state, can you resize the popup to be smaller? Or is that its minimum size and you can only make it bigger? Is this issue present with other resizable panel popups, such as the popups for Kickoff or the Digital Clock?

Color me embarrassed, I didn't realize those COULD resize. That worked. Sorry to waste time here.
Well, the fact that you can resize it doesn't mean that it shouldn't have a better default size. :) The fact that you didn't know you could resize it is actually helpful, and tells me that this isn't user error setting a big size and forgetting about it. Do yo remember when the initial size of the popup changed? Was it sized properly at 100% scale, then you set the screen to 150% scale, and immediately the popup was too big? Is that how it happened?

Once global scale was changed the menu was oversized.
