Created attachment 170720 [details] Overflow screenshot (on 42px panel) *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY When using the pie chart variant with text inside it, the text does not fit on one line. Started happening after update to Plasma 6.1. Can reproduce on e.g. "Total CPU usage" default widget, on panel heights 40 - 50px. (But with e.g. Memory usage, text overflows even of heights 50px+) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set panel height to 40 - 50px. 2. Add "Total CPU Usage" widget OBSERVED RESULT Text inside the pie chart is split to two lines EXPECTED RESULT Text should be on a single line, as pre 6.1 update.

Looks like this is an intentional fix for bug 453797, but that commit does seem to be causing the text to wrap (or disappear completely) earlier than it really should.
Yeah, it seems like a regression from the change to allow it to be multi-line. This is fine when the pie chart is large, but not when it's small.

There is only so much we can do here, since the area that is available is quite limited. Ultimately with the options I had I found wrapping the text to be the best solution. The above MR relaxes the constraints a little bit, which means wrapping happens a bit later, at the tradeoff of text begin rendered on top of the chart, with potential contrast issues.
Git commit 53c89c046014e2deaf4b21a3dae9611a53d35dbc by Arjen Hiemstra. Committed on 03/07/2024 at 15:07. Pushed by ahiemstra into branch 'master'. faces/pie: Allow center text to overlap the chart at small sizes We now constrain the text so it never goes outside the central pie area, but for small sizes this would cause things to wrap too early for people's tastes. This change allows the text to overflow onto the pie chart while still being constrained to the total applet size. When this happens we render the text with an outline to improve contrast. outline M +16 -2 faces/facepackages/piechart/contents/ui/UsedTotalDisplay.qml https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/commit/53c89c046014e2deaf4b21a3dae9611a53d35dbc
