SUMMARY

This is a followup to a previous closed issue. I will go by each point separately.

When the Timer widget placed on a floating panel and displaying only the progress bar is left-clicked, the popup only displays a greatly enlarged timer widget (with no additional resolution), and large amounts of empty space is present. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a floating platform (in my case, on the bottom)
2. Add the Timer widget
3. Move the timer widget to the floating platform
4. Click on the timer widget
5. Restart to finalize the layout, then click on the timer widget again

OBSERVED RESULT
Popup leaves large amounts of space where what could be the digital timer display instead.

EXPECTED RESULT
The popup only shows the progress bar.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0 (Applies to Plasma 5 and 6)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am thinking that the Timer widget needs to be revamped.
