I usual keep just one note active and have not experimented to see what happens with multiple notes open, or any other widgets. I have it rotated, and on screen appears about 2cm x 3cm. After most reboots, it looks 1:1 and about 10cm. It retains the angle. If you consider an oblong formed by horizontal and vertical lines that the rotated note fits in before malformation, it looks like the top right corner of this area is anchored while the rest of it changes, based on the location of the note before and after reboot.
The widget is on the desktop, right? Can you take before and after screenshots? Is this a multi-monitor system? Are there any icons also on the desktop? Is your panel always visible or auto hide? If it's always visible, does the problem go away if you make it auto-hide?
Created attachment 175384 [details] Example of sticky note before demonstrating bug
Created attachment 175385 [details] After a log out and log in, the sticky has resized
Created attachment 175386 [details] This example is rotated, placed at top right of left hand screen. The two screens are 1920*1080 and are slightly offset. This screenshot shows top right of left screen and top left of right screen, as does the "after" screenshot, uploading next.

Thanks for the info!
I am experiencing this as well. Triple monitors. Just one sticky note. OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241111 x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.11.6-2-default DE: KDE Plasma 6.2.3 WM: KWin (Wayland) WM Theme: Breeze
I'm also experiencing this. A sticky note I've set to use narrow dimensions has a tendency to widen back out to its "default" width when I restart my computer or when Plasma restarts for some other reason. I previously had a dual-monitor setup, but even after switching to a single ultrawide monitor the problem persists. Let me know if there's any other info I can provide to help troubleshoot this! OS: Kubuntu 24.10 (but this occasionally happened on 24.04 as well) Kernel: Linux 6.11.0-9-generic (64-bit) DE: KDE Plasma 6.1.5 (but occasionally happened on Plasma 5 as well) WM: Both Wayland and X11 WM Theme: Breeze application style with elements/settings from a downloaded theme (Vivid-Dark-Plasma)
I'm able to reproduce this on git-master, Wayland, with one sticky note Laptop (1920x1080) connected to HDMI monitor (3440x1440) - Created sticky note, made it small - Connected the external monitor. Sticky was now on the external monitor, at its original size - Rebooted - Sticky note was on the external screen, and larger I can also reproduce with just the laptop screen, with the same sticky not - Make the sticky note as narrow as possible - Reboot - Sticky note is at the default size
(In reply to TraceyC from comment #10) > I can also reproduce with just the laptop screen, with the same sticky not > - Make the sticky note as narrow as possible > - Reboot > - Sticky note is at the default size I can't get this to happen; it works fine for me with today's git master. Only real difference is a 2880x1900@2x laptop screen. I wonder if panel placement makes a difference? The screen has one left screen edge always-visible panel.
Re-tested with today's git-master. Still able to reproduce Added an always visible left hand panel on both the laptop and external displays Both displays are at 100% scale With HDMI monitor plugged in, made sticky note, which is on that display, narrow Restarted plasma, sticky note got wide again I am not able to reproduce if I change the external display scale to 105% and restart plasma If I set it back to 100% I can reproduce every time I restart plasma
As today, the issue is present yet. In this thread of Discuss KDE I have all necessary information (screenshots included): https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-cant-remember-the-size-of-plasmanotes/32350 I only have 1 monitor (2560x1440) connected to my graphics card (GTX 1070) via DP 1.4 at both ends. Regards
The bug title implies it needs a reboot. It doesn't, I can resize the Sticky Note to the size I want, logout of KDE and back in and the Note is back to the huge size I don't want. So the Note doesn't remember the Width,Height of the note across reboots. I'm seeing this on : kinfo: Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.15.0-0.rc3.20250422gita33b5a08cbbd.29.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 5500M
Recently I reloaded my system, opted to use Wayland full time (mouse scroll related issues, used to work better in X11, now works better in Wayland). After about 10 cycles of logout-login with a few reboots mixed in, the sticky stayed put. I decided to test X11 and soon as I got in, the sticky resized. I set it small again, logged out and back in, and it had gone back to large. I went back to Wayland, did a couple of loops, sticky note not changing. But I see there's others here experienced the issue in Wayland, so what gives? OS: Kubuntu 25.04 x86_64 DE: Plasma 6.3.4 [KF 6.12.0] [Qt 6.8.3] (wayland) WM: kwin_wayland_wr CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700 (20) @ 4.8GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Lite Hash Rate
I have the Issue and my kinfo is: Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250418 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.2-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
"So the Note doesn't remember the Width,Height of the note across reboots." Sorry I really meant "So the Note *also* doesn't remember the Width,Height of the note across *logins*."
I'm also having this issue, seems to be reproducible 100% of the time. Plasma 6.3.4 (Wayland) KDE Framework 6.13.0 QT Version 6.9.0 Kernel 6.14.3 AMD Ryzen 9 3950X AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/notes: don't set Layout preferred sizes Currently, the fullRepresentation sets Layout.preferredSize. This gives the widget a default size for the desktop representation or the panel popup, but is much too eager on desktop - when the desktop layout is recomputed (such as on plasmashell startup), it will try to give the widget that size. If space for the preffered size is available in either dimension, the widget size that the user chose will be overwritten by the default size. Messing with the user's desktop widget arrangement in this way is not nice; we should respect the user's choices where possible. Instead, set the width and height of the PlasmoidItem. A newly added widget will use this for its default size, but will not override any sizes the user chooses later.
