I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master, Neon Testing or Neon User Edition
Leaving open in case someone else can.
Comment 2 John Kizer 2025-03-16 02:17:21 UTC
Hi - I can't reproduce on Fedora KDE 41 - just to double-check, does this behavior still occur with Plasma 6.3.3?

large whitespace between networks

It seems to happen with OpenVPN networks only - it happened after a disconnect from a VPN.

Thanks for the screenshot. I'll let the folks more experienced with this UI take it from here.

I set the version back to what it had been. Please don't change this. See the field descriptions here for an explanation

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2025-08-13 22:23:01 UTC
This is fixed in Plasma 6.4 with a change to how the sections are separated. The prior approach was rather hacky and I can see how it might have produced this effect from time to time. The new code can't have the same issue.
