SUMMARY Since the update to Plasma 6.5.0, the Icons in a two-rowed Quicklaunch widget are much smaller because of unnecessarily large borders above and below the widget. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Panel height: 44 Quicklaunch settings: max 2 rows; no names; no popups ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I fixed this for myself by editing file /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.quicklaunch/contents/ui/main.qml After line "Plasmoid.backgroundHints: ..." insert a new line "Plasmoid.constraintHints: Plasmoid.CanFillArea" Test the modifications by restarting the panel: $ systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service
Thanks for the bug report. I'm not seeing a difference between the spacing in Plasma built from git-master vs Plasma 6.4.5 in Neon User Ed. Can you share screenshots of the widget in the bugged state, and in the state after your changes? This may have been fixed in git-master already, but I want to verify what I see vs. what you see. Thanks.
I just found out that this is not a bug. The increased margins on the top and bottom of the Quicklaunch widget were because of a misplaced Margins Separator widget on the left of the Quicklaunch widget. I guess I did the debian-unstable package upgrade when not all plasma related packages were available yet. This caused some problems with other widgets until I did another "apt upgrade" some hours later. I think I messed up the order of the widgets when restoring the Task Manager widget. I just upgraded another computer from Plasma 6.3.6 to 6.5.0 (also Debian unstable), and everything worked fine there. @TraceyC Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your efforts.
