Color picker overflowing widget background

SUMMARY
After adding the Color Picker to the grouping widget, it is larger than the grouping widget background

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a grouping widget to the desktop
2. Add Analog Clock, Bluetooth, Color Picker

OBSERVED RESULT
The Color Picker widget is larger than the grouping widget and visually overflows the background

EXPECTED RESULT
The color picker widget should be resized to fit within the widget background

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0
Qt Version: 6.10.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Everything works as expected, and the grouping widget background can be resized to encompass the Color Picker, so this is just a visual bug

yes, adding things to the grouping widget only works when pulling directly from the widget explorer

Comment 4 Tobias Fella 2026-06-08 13:04:04 UTC 
This seems to be the applets hardcoding their sizes rather than the grouping applet doing anything wrong, so needs individual fixes :/ Please create new tickets if you see it in more places :)
