If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

SUMMARY
As in the attached graphics, the icons in the toolbar area are extremely large. The min/max/close icons are also very large and taking up a lot of real estate. I have changed the settings in fonts many times but I cannot lower the size.

Also my secondary click menus appear to be 1.5 line spacing. I cannot capture a graphic because spectacle will not open when a secondary menu is visible. (?)

My next step in debugging is to delete the appropriate config/local file and start over. Unfortunately I do know which files to delete. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open KDE and choose program
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons very large

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons to follow SystemSettings/Font choices

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.27.12 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 5.27.12, 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.

Dolphin's toolbar icons are customizable in size. Right-click on one of them > Icon Size > whatever you'd prefer.
