After running systemsettings from the terminal and looking at its output, it returns

and it similarly spans over several hundred lines

Update: It crashes if I do it enough times. I sent the crash report via the automatic crash reporter.

settings search

Seems like what I have just by searching the settings itself, I was going through several settings item, by searching them and ~on a 3rd search whole left panel got scrambled.

Can confirm. Neon Testing, Plasma 5.92.90, Frameworks 5.249.0, Qt 6.6.1

It's Qt issue: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-115717

*** Bug 480631 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 479744 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 480707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I am not fully convinced that this is an upstream issue -- when I trigger the faulty behavior, I see a lot of binding loops/layout polish loops in my logs. Also, for 480707, when I added debugging print statements, I saw that the contentItem of the QQC2.CheckDelegate (in configTimeZones.qml) had zero implicit height, which doesn't seem correct.

Reopening since this doesn't seem like https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-115717 -- the problem persists if I remove the custom filterAcceptsRow, and instead use the regex filtering provided by QSortFilterProxyModel. This indicates that QTBUG-115717 is probably not the root cause.

It still seems highly likely that all the bugs marked as duplicates of this one are actual duplicates, as the symptoms are almost exactly the same. However, I have not been able to uncover the root cause yet, and more investigation is needed.

This issue has been reported both against Qt 6.6 and Qt 6.7, so this doesn't seem like a regression in Qt 6.7.

Observation: 

In both 480707 and 480631, the problem disappears after setting the implicitHeight of the delegate item to a fixed value. In both cases, the content item is a RowLayout.

Git bisection shows that https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/commit/552517c356d04e6e9eda9795e5bdbb9e6071f63a is the cause of both 480707 and 480631.

I haven't checked the others. I checked these two because for me these are the easiest to reproduce (I can always reproduce them).

The general problem seems to be that scrollviews cannot correctly handle items that dynamically resize based on their index...

Here is a more extreme example where the topPadding is a function of index: (type 123 into the search and you can see the problem)

```
import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Layouts
import QtQuick.Controls
import mysearch

Window {
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    ListModel {
        id: listModel
    }
    Component.onCompleted: {
        for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            listModel.append({display: "Item " + i})
        }
    }
    // Column layout
    ColumnLayout {
        anchors.fill: parent
        // search box
        TextField {
            id: searchBox
            Layout.fillWidth: true
            Layout.fillHeight: false
            placeholderText: "Search"
        }
        ScrollView {
            Layout.fillWidth: true
            Layout.fillHeight: true
            ListView {
                id: listView
                // Layout.fillWidth: true
                // Layout.fillHeight: true
                model: CustomProxyModel {
                    sourceModel: listModel
                    filter: searchBox.text
                }
                clip: true
                delegate: ItemDelegate {
                    id: controlRoot
                    text: model.display
                    width: listView.width
                    topPadding: (index % 10) * 10
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

and 
```
#pragma once

#include <QSortFilterProxyModel>
#include <QtQml/qqmlregistration.h>

class CustomProxyModel : public QSortFilterProxyModel {
    Q_OBJECT
    QML_ELEMENT
    Q_PROPERTY(QString filter READ filter WRITE setFilter NOTIFY filterChanged)
public:
    CustomProxyModel(QObject *parent = nullptr)
        : QSortFilterProxyModel(parent) {}

    QString filter() const { return m_matchString; }
    void setFilter(const QString &s) {
        if (m_matchString == s)
            return;

        m_matchString = s;
        invalidateFilter();
    }

    bool filterAcceptsRow(int sourceRow,
                          const QModelIndex &sourceParent) const override {
        const auto index = sourceModel()->index(sourceRow, 0, sourceParent);
        if (!index.isValid())
            return false;
        const auto &str = index.data().value<QString>();
        bool accepted = str.contains(m_matchString);
        return accepted;
    }

Q_SIGNALS:
    void filterChanged();

private:
    QString m_matchString;
};
```

Can confirm reverting that patch fixes both crashing and weird overlap issues for me
