Yes, it is caused by the long city name. When using a shorter city name, the
tabs are shown fine. I am using the NOAA weather provider. The location to
reproduce is "Detroit, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, MI (noaa)".

I can confirm that this happens in my case as well -- the plasmoid resizes to
the full width of the city name when placed as an independent plasmoid rather
than in the system-tray. I think the preferred behavior should be truncating
the location name with "..." rather than overextending. For an extreme example,
try the "Bloomington/Normal, Central Illinois Regional Airport at
Bloomington-Normal" NOAA station, the weather widget shouldn't take up half the
screen.
For testing purposes of different stations, you can use the following to get
the list of NOAA stations sorted by length:
wget https://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/index.xml
xmllint --xpath '//station/station_name/text()' index.xml | awk '{ print
length, $0 }' | sort -rns | less
Bug is still reproducible in the most current releases.

The hints here (length of city name and system-tray hard-coded size limits) *did* suggest a workaround, however, which I can confirm works, having just tried it after reading this bug. =:^) Note that there's *TWO* ways to add a weather-report plasmoid, either nested inside the system-tray plasmoid, which in turn can be placed in a panel (as is traditional) or directly on the desktop activity (when it's in desktop/widgets mode, not folderview mode). Adding it nested in the system-tray is done via simple checkmark in the system-tray config, and nested in the system-tray is where the popup sizes are constrained, so this is the problem location. But, it's also possible (with widgets unlocked) to select add-widgets, either from the (desktop-mode) desktop config menu, or from the panel config menu, then in the popup window with all the widgets/plasmoids displayed, scroll toward the bottom and find the weather report widget/plasmoid, and drag it to the desired location on the desktop or in the panel. This second method, adding the weather-report plasmoid directly to the panel (or desktop if preferred), instead of nesting it inside the system-tray plasmoid, avoids the popup-window size constraints of the system-tray, thus avoiding the problem. =:^) Thanks for the hints that allowed me to figure that out. This had been frustrating me for quite some time, and now at least I have a workaround while we wait for a fix to the system-tray nesting constraints, putting it directly in the panel instead of nested in the system-tray. =:^) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
