SUMMARY
Down-down menu for "Unblock" obscures the button "Unblock".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Watch some YouTube clips.
2. Click on power management widget is system tray. The widget says that web browser is blocking sleep, has buttons "Unblock" and "Manually Block".
3. Single click (and release) "Unblock".

OBSERVED RESULT
The drop-down menu appear on top of the "Unblock" button and obscures it. This is problematic because
 1. The user may forget the context of the action, in that case menu items cannot be understood. For example I won't be able to reliably guess what the menu item "Only this time" does. If the button wasn't obscured, the menu items can be read a continuation of a sentence: "Unblock... Only this time".
 2. The user may accidentally click LMB twice, this will inadvertently trigger the "Only this time" action.

EXPECTED RESULT
The drop-down menu should appear below the Unblock button.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.3.4 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 6.3.4, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
