Created attachment 164614 [details] Edited screenshot showing entries side-by-side The selection box around an application entry in list mode is slightly taller if no description subtext is rendered. I first noticed this on Plasma 6 Beta 2 via the latest Neon Unstable boot image, but this appears to affect at least as far back as 5.27.10 as well. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the kickoff menu in it's default list mode with compact mode turned OFF 2. Compare the selection size of an application with no description subtext with one that has it OBSERVED RESULT Box selections do not match in size EXPECTED RESULT I expect the selection box around an application entry with no description showing to be the same size as one that does have a description. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.91.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have attached an edited screenshot to show this size difference. This affects 5.27.10 on Arch Linux as well. The screenshot has font size increased, but this does seem to affect normal sized fonts as well. I can also reproduce this design error on Arch Linux running Plasma 5.27.10

Git commit c4d4d0e4529638bc752c88688af28b8152a851b0 by Nate Graham. Committed on 19/01/2024 at 05:34. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/kickoff: make list delegate heights consistent When the description label is not present, the title label increases its implicit height to attempt to match it so that all list delegates have the same height. However it was using a faulty calculation by simply doubling its own implicitHeight. This would have worked if both labels had the same height, but they don't: the description label uses the small font, so it's shorter. We can fix this by using the description label's actual height instead of approximating it incorrectly.
