--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Can confirm with the Sweet theme. I see the issue now. 

The minimum panel thickness has gained a new condition: it's also twice the
active plasma theme's corner radius. This is because when using a floating
panel, any thinner and the panel would have visual glitches with such a large
corner radius.

However, not everyone uses a floating panel. When using a maximized
non-floating panel, the corner radius is irrelevant because your panel will
have no corners. And even when using a non-maximized non-floating panel, the
panel will only have top corners, so the minimum thickness only needs to be 1x
the corner radius, not 2x.

We can refine the calculation to take those into account. But as a consequence,
when you use a panel with a thickness that's greater than 20 but less than
double the corner radius of your current plasma theme, if you switch that panel
into floating mode, it will become thicker.

Our options are:
- Do the above ^^
- Remain with the status quo and accept the issue
- Revert the changes and accept that thin floating panels will look visually
broken when using a Plasma theme with a large corner radius
