I cannot reproduce on arch+wayland. Do you use X11? Anything else you changed for the panel settings?
Created attachment 169014 [details] screencast showing how to reproduce problem, then log out and log in
Created attachment 169015 [details] result after log out and log in again

The attached webm screencasts show how to reproduce on a fresh KDE Neon live iso (neon-user-20240425-0716.iso)
I was able to reproduce this using the live iso of Garuda (garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-240428) and Manjaro (manjaro-kde-24.0-240513-linux69) both running plasma 6. * bug appears only under wayland * in the live session, first logout from the default X11 session and then relogin using wayland * for garuda: move the existing bottom panel to the left, and fit to content, I used on-floating; log out and relogin; now the panel appears stretched * for manjaro: add an empty panel on the left, fit to content, width 38, I used non-floating, add icon-only task manager; log out and relogin; now the panel appears stretched; close the manjaro welcome window; now the panel changes to expected height
Created attachment 169626 [details] stretched panel in Garuda
Created attachment 169627 [details] stretched panel in Manjaro
same bug as reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487310 seems to be fixed in plasma 6.2 developer
