From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Whenever I resize the panel or the any other widget on the panel (e.g calendar widget) it doesn't remember its size. It's really annoying me. I am on Fedora 40, KDE 6.0.4. Nothing seems to fix it, thinking of a complete reinstall. Is anyone of you getting this bug?

If it's a bug, then reinstalling won't do anything. You could try first creating a new user and checking out that happens with it too. Also, open a bug - it will help others too.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Two top comments are exactly right: file a bug ticket.

Just wanted to tag on that reinstalling an entire Linux environment really makes no sense ever, unless you're sure you nuked some kind of files belonging to a crucial package, in which case, you just reinstall the package. There is absolutely no good reason for a full install of the OS, ever.

If you compare the sizes of the panel in the video, it is remembering the size correctly. The issue you're having is that the position isn't remembered.

The behaviour is the same for me on plasma 5.27.11.

Isn't the resize application launcher a plasma widget? If it is, have you checked its compatibility with plasma 6?

[–] Rustmilian 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It is but it's also a main component so it's already plasma 6 compatible.

My bad, in that's case probably gonna have to wait for a big fix. In the mean time you could find a widget to change it maybe

Idk about OP, but for me the entire widget menu position saving seems to be completely broken not just for the kickoff application launcher widget's menu. The position saving feature is a relatively new thing anyway so I'm not too worried about it. I didn't even notice it until OP's post, lol.

There was a workaround someone posted that involved creating a new window rule that applies to all windows, I can't find it rn, but maybe look into that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That was about remembering the window position not the size but maybe it can be adapted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You're right, but it seems like a related issue. Worth a shot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The issue OP is having is with the position. If you measure the sizes in the video, they are being remembered correctly.

[–] Rustmilian 1 points 6 months ago

I also have this bug. It seems that widget position saving is broken atm.

Try to switch to the different display server (to Wayland if you're on X11 or the other way around)
