Created attachment 188383 [details] screenshot SUMMARY See the attached screenshot, it includes the mouse cursor. As one can see, a context menu entry line is around twice the height of the cursor, which is pretty annoying. Not all context menus are affected, the one on the window decoration (with Maximize, minimize etc) are normal btw. This is a very bizarre problem, as it only occurs on my laptop - I also have a desktop with basically the same setup (both Arch Linux with Plasma 6.5.4) where it does not happen. The only difference I can see is that the desktop is a fresh install, the laptop is an older one (albeit fully updated of course). Thinking that maybe some old config file is to blame, I created and logged in as another user with a clean home dir on my laptop, but that did not help either. I also suspected some HiDPI problem, as my laptop has a high resolution internal screen (using screen scale 175%) and an external 1080p monitor attached (without scaling), but neither disabling all screen scaling nor switching to a single screen (either laptop or external only) fixed the problem. So I'm at my wits end what could be causing this... SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1

This might suggest that you have some old faulty environment variables set at the system level rather than the user level. Check for what's in /etc/environment. Is the affected laptop using an X11 session or a Wayland session?

Since my laptop is an older install I still have X11 installed, but have been using the Wayland sessions pretty exclusively for two years. I believe the issue showed up with some software update some time ago (can't quite remember, maybe with 6.5.3) but I've waited to report it since I hoped it would get fixed with 6.5.4.
I am now on Plasma 6.5.5, the problem still persists.
