Have you been able to reproduce this with the latest Plasma 6 code? I have not.

reproducing with KDE Connect KCM

Can reproduce with KDE Connect KCM on neon unstable.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-02-06 16:10:37 UTC 
Thanks. Only that one? I ask because this bug report is currently filed against kcmutils, but the KDE Connect KCM does not use any kcmutils components. So if only that KCM still exhibits the issue, it would be an issue specific to only that KCM.
Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2024-02-07 11:00:57 UTC 
KDE Connect is the only affected KCM.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-02-07 16:33:14 UTC 
Thanks. Moving to KDE Connect.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2024-02-08 17:17:52 UTC 
Can reproduce. The problem isn't really the scroll bar per se, but rather than the content of the KCM doesn't fully fit in the System Settings new smaller default window size for Plasma 6.

Text too wide for its area in the KCM

I saw what I believe is a related problem. If KDE Connect crashes, and a notification appears in the kcm, the text is cut off
Comment 10 Nate Graham 2025-10-09 16:49:12 UTC 
Hello from KDE's bug team! The KDE Connect page in System Settings was recently removed, in favor of a new standalone app used to configure KDE Connect. As such, this Bugzilla ticket is no longer relevant due to the software it's about no longer existing. Please open new bug reports for the desktop ap at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=kdeconnect&component=desktop-application.

Thanks!
