Created attachment 181970 [details] Showing the abnormal size (at login) SUMMARY Activity pager widget shows very wide at every login, has to be manually resized in the horizontal direction which is then forgotten on the next logon becoming too wide again STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install Activity Pager widget plasmoid 2. Size it to the preferred size 3. Logout and back in OBSERVED RESULT After sizing and logout, login, Activity Pager gets very wide in the horizontal direction. Vertical size is correct EXPECTED RESULT Plasmoids should remember user adjusted size across boot ups SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.16.0-0.rc0.250529g90b83efa6701.6.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 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A similar bug was recently fixed for Sticky Notes https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495306
I wasn't able to reproduce this on git-master or Fedora 42. Can you share a screenshot of the settings for your activity pager widget? Also, are you able to reproduce this with a new user and the same activities setup and same pager setup?

Created attachment 182008 [details] activity pager widget for testuser after relogin I created a new user "testuser", logged in and only did: 1. Used "Enter Edit Mode" to add an Activity Pager widget 2. created three activities like I had on my real account 3. logged out and logged back in. 4. Widget was wider like in the bug report on the normal account
Thanks for the additional details. I'll let someone more knowledgeable about the widget look further into it.
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc I was noticing this file changes timestamp right when I drag the widget to a different size. So I copied it to a copy (pda), then resized it again and copied it again (pda1) diff pda pda1 11c11 < ItemGeometries-1920x1080=Applet-53:0,0,160,96,0;Applet-29:0,96,96,128,0;Applet-40:160,0,208,96,0;Applet-49:1088,0,608,384,0;Applet-27:1712,0,192,256,0;Applet-28:1696,256,208,240,0;Applet-32:0,640,288,176,0; --- > ItemGeometries-1920x1080=Applet-53:0,0,304,96,0;Applet-29:0,96,96,128,0;Applet-40:128,128,208,96,0;Applet-49:1088,0,608,384,0;Applet-27:1712,0,192,256,0;Applet-28:1696,256,208,240,0;Applet-32:0,640,288,176,0; 17c17 < ItemGeometriesHorizontal=Applet-53:0,0,160,96,0;Applet-29:0,96,96,128,0;Applet-40:160,0,208,96,0;Applet-49:1088,0,608,384,0;Applet-27:1712,0,192,256,0;Applet-28:1696,256,208,240,0;Applet-32:0,640,288,176,0; --- > ItemGeometriesHorizontal=Applet-53:0,0,304,96,0;Applet-29:0,96,96,128,0;Applet-40:128,128,208,96,0;Applet-49:1088,0,608,384,0;Applet-27:1712,0,192,256,0;Applet-28:1696,256,208,240,0;Applet-32:0,640,288,176,0;
I think this is a binding order issue - the applet at first doesn't know it's supposed to be in two rows (and arguably it shouldn't be, it seems to inherit that from the virtual desktop settings but that doesn't necessarily make sense), then sizes itself to accommodate three activities at that height (making it much wider), then figures out it's two rows and that it needs much less space, but at that point it's already larger and doesn't shrink back. Really, the whole pager thing probably needs to be rethought for desktop widget use, it probably shouldn't change size at all because that can really mess with things. Might be tricky to get reasonable behavior in all cases though.
