Steps: 1. Press Meta+V 2. Try to resize clipboard floating's window (Press Meta+Mouse Right Click) 3. Logout then relogin Expected result: Clipboard floating window should retain its previous size like how the clipboard widget does it. Observed result: Clipboard floating window doesn't remember its previous size.
Not sure if the behavior should be supported because the popup size is based on the current screen size
(In reply to Fushan Wen from comment #1) > Not sure if the behavior should be supported because the popup size is based > on the current screen size Isn't it the same case with clipboard widget in system tray, but once the user changes its size it persists across different sessions. The problem is that both the widget and the popup are viewers to the same data but they don't share the same dimension.
Indeed, I'd say this is intentional. Resizing is officially supported for the tray version; we've opted not to do so for the popup version.
With Plasma 6.5.0, the floating window reset its width and height everytime I press Meta+V, so there is no way to keep its size large enough to read and compare saved items, especially with that added starring button that eats all the entry width when highlighted.
It's not resizable from the edges and corners, so I'm assuming you're using the Meta+Right-click trick to force it, right?

Yes, I'm using Meta+MouseRightClick to resize it, I use the floating window because it's easy to show via Meta+V instead of clicking by mouse on Klipper icon in system tray, the problem is that the default width is small and is not helping me to choose when there are multiple entries starting with similar content, especially the highlighted item where all those action buttons hiding the half its content, so I'm forced to resize it via Meta+MouseRighClick to see more content, in 6.4 that forced size was retained until I relogin but with 6.5 is reset to that default width with each Meta+V.
Then there isn't a bug here. As Fushan implies earlier, it isn't intended to be resizable; rather, its fixed size is based on the screen dimensions. That's why when you try to resize it by force, the custom size isn't remembered. We can use this to track the request to make it resizable.
Created attachment 186305 [details] Floating klipper has small size Well in my case that default size is actually not well calculated and really too small for me to read and compare saved entries, so the whole floating Klipper became unusable, see how it looks on my screen. NB: I really wish for those actions buttons which I never use to disappear expect for that new brilliant star button, others are simply eating the whole entry space.
