[plasmashell] [Bug 517535] Unnecessary scrollbars in application menu
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517535 --- Comment #14 from cwo --- Git commit f99e9ff0592a460f1c23e791ea445814941807ff by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 13/05/2026 at 09:01. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: don't show sidebar scrollbar without screen When switching displays, there is a brief moment where no screen is active. This can confuse kicker, as it now thinks it should show a scrollbar and maintain this after the new screen is connected, leading the applet to leave room for a scroll bar that doesn't exist (until something like a search triggers another resize later, now with the correct values). Showing a scrollbar without a screen doesn't seem useful in the first place, and can only lead to unnecessary resizing even if it didn't cause issues. So we require a screen size greater than 0 to show the scroll bar.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517535 --- Comment #9 from cwo --- I have encountered something similar, but with different steps to get there (not involving switching between monitors). I fixed those, but the fix is 6.7 material - code in that area is a bit tricky, and in the past getting it slightly wrong has led to infinite resize loops that basically freeze Plasma, and I don't want to risk this for 6.6. I haven't been able to trigger the specific issue with switching monitors, but I have hope it'll be solved by the same fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Happens randomly, I didn't find a way to reproduce this. As mentioned, typing something into the search bar removes the scrollbars (didn't try with favorites). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It doesn't always happen so I haven't been able to try the favorites thing yet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If you remove a favorite, so that the favorites bar is no longer scrollable, does it still happen? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
