Created attachment 170699 [details] Bug showcase SUMMARY When using a top panel "Text Only" system monitor sensor widgets have dramatically reduced size compared to 6.0, and are offset to the top STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a top panel 2. Add a system monitor widget configured as "text only" to the panel OBSERVED RESULT The widget is very small and offset to the top EXPECTED RESULT The widget is sized to the panel appropriately and located in the vertical center of the panel SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Sensor widget was fine in 6.0. Additionally, the text for the "used memory" sensor is much smaller now compared to 6.0.

Maybe it's separate issues (and feel free to direct me there) but I think that widget rendering in panels is generally broken in 6.1, in that the size of the widgets don't match what they should be (or at least what they were in <= 6.0) making them mostly unusable now. For example, "Individual Core Usage" in bar graph mode (which is really just a bunch of sensors preconfigured one for each core) renders with the same width whether you ask it to show 1 core or 12, meaning with 1 core you get a nice graph, and with 12 cores you basically get nothing (since it's trying to squish them into a 20 pixel wide square). Weather widget doesn't display temperatures, just a bunch of cloud/sun.
Interesting, I don't have issues with other widgets I use. The default kde weather widget works normally on my end. Weird.
My apologies, I take back what I said about the CPU widget - I'm on Fedora and I may have had a mix of inconsistent versions of components from when I first upgraded. I updated again and CPU graphs now expand properly. Weather widget doesn't show temperature, so I'm thinking maybe that's unrelated (as opposed to a bigger widget rendering issue). When I use text only sensors look close to the "Bug showcase" screenshot (i.e. text is high up and not in the middle) but not cut off like ss and sss.
I can confirm the issue.

Pushed by ahiemstra into branch 'master'. faces/text: Use grid layout for compact representation This allows the compact rep to keep displaying multiple items, moving them to new columns (in horizontal mode) or rows (in vertical mode) as needed. Only if we can't even fit a full row/column of all the items do we switch to smaller text.
