My desktop with three system monitor widgets after boot

SUMMARY
Whenever I reboot my laptop, the RAM usage widget gets a fixed wider size instead of keeping my saved widget width.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add system monitor widgets (RAM usage and CPU usage/Network speed), place them underneath
2. Resize the CPU usage/Network speed widget so that the sensor details are just displayed in 1 instead of 2 rows
3. Resize the RAM usage widget to match the size of the other widget
4. Reboot

OBSERVED RESULT
The RAM usage widget has become a little wider.

EXPECTED RESULT
The RAM usage widget keeps its size.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: secureblue (based on Fedora Atomic) 41 - Kinoite

For what it's worth, I can't reproduce this on a KDE Neon VM.

Reproduced on Kubuntu 25.04 beta (Plasma 6.3.4) using both x11 and wayland logins.  I vertically stacked the memory/cpu/network widgets and made them all the same width.  Then logged out and back in (no reboot necessary).

The behavior depends on the configured width:
* if all three widgets are configured to the minimum possible width, the memory and network speed widgets are both resized to be wider on login (I could see them initially rendered at the configured width, but then they were resized).
* if the widgets are all a bit wider (the width of the network speed widget after the step above), only the memory usage widget is resized (again, it is initially the configured width but is resized).
* if the widgets are all at least the width of the memory usage width after the step above then they are not resized after login.

It looks like the memory/network speed widgets have a minimum desired size that is larger than the minimum configurable size?

Same symptoms as bug 490687.

This does look to be the same as bug 490687. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that one. Thanks.
