Weirdly small size after boot/reboot

[MoarcyVega]

Hello, i have a weird issue with the event calendar-widget The size when i click on the calendar is weirdly small after reboot or starting my computer (as shown in the screenshot):

After clicking on settings, the size is correct:

Packages are all up to date and the version of the widget is the latest one (75) Maybe someone has the same issue or can help

Same problem here, but it doesn't fix itself even after clicking on settings. OpenSuse Tumbleweed 20220411 (KDE Plasma 5.24.4 - KDE Frameworks 5.93.0).

I was able to fix it by slightly changing the sizes of all the components in the "Layout" tab and saving. I still do not know if it will stick after a reboot.

Seems to have happened with update kde Framework from 5.92.xx to 5.93.xx My sticky notes plasmoid opens only a minimini popup on click. So not only a Event calendar issue...

[Cris70]

@Peter-Ries you're right, my notes plasmoid became unusable!! And I have not yet found a workaround for that one :-(

It doesn't work on my pc, i mean it doesn't stick after reboot

I am having the same problem. For now i can increase the size again with meta+right click but when i restart it gets smaller again.

[Peter-Ries]

the hint with clicking settings works - at least until I reboot. This also fixes my minimini sticky notes popup. After saving settings dialog both event calendar & sticky notes show their correct popup windows size when clicking.

I have no clue if event calendar "disturbs" other plasmoids or if it's a thing behind the scene that whas been "invented" with framework 5.93.xx

When I get back home I'll play in a VM to see what's the cause and if it's a very special set of plasmoids in taskbar.

Otherwise I have no idea where to send a proper bug report (here or KDE framework guys)

[Cris70]

Unfortunately I can confirm that, after a reboot, everything is back to minuscule :-(

[Peter-Ries]

I tested in a VM running KDE Fraework 5.92 - no Event Calendar. I added Sticky Notes to taskbar.

Update arch in my case so I had 5.93 KDE FW afterwards. Reboot.

Stiky Notes does not work anymore correctly. So KDE Framework seems to be the culprit. Eventcalendar & Sticky Notes & some more(?) suffer the same problem of not opening in correct size after click. The settings dialog of Event Calendar somehow seems to be a temporary cure doing something in KDE FW that helps other Plasmoids, too.

I'll file a bugreport @ KDE guys.

Edit: just created https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452607 please have an eye on this to provide more information if needed by developers.

Seems the non duplicate bug is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452512

Was experiencing this in TiledMenu myself (https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu/issues/125) but assume it was because my GPU was broken. Seems it's a bug where it ignores the Layout.preferredWidth and grabs the current width when the window is first displayed. Luckily EventCalendar seems to have a minimum size unlike TiledMenu.

Nate has bugged a few distros to release a patched KDE Framework 5.93. If there's still a lazy distro in a week, I could probably workaround this by setting width/height in the full representation PopupView.qml.

width: Layout.preferredWidth
height: Layout.preferredHeight

https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-eventcalendar/blob/master/package/contents/ui/PopupView.qml#L34-L69

You can quickly resize the popup with Win+RightClick+Drag (older users might need to use Alt instead of Win/`Meta) until it's fixed.

sorry, forgot to update here. Problem has been fixed with update of extra/plasma-framework from 5.93.0-1 to 5.93.0-2

Strangely, KDE Neon is dragging their feet in getting that fix out. Where should I apply the workaround in PopupView.qml? After the highlighted lines? That's where I put it, but it doesn't seem to make a difference after restarting the Plasma shell.

[thegreyshadow]

Confirmed here in a system (Slackware64-current) with these specs:

Operating System: Slackware 15.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.5 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620Operating System: Slackware 15.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.5 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620

Changing the pixel size in the Layout tab of the configuration dialog temporarily restores the size, but then after a reboot or even before that, we go back to the tiny calendar size.

[TiZ-HugLife]

I think Neon is just not going to push out the backport for Frameworks 5.93. I asked in several Matrix channels and got radio silence. They could be busy with migrating from 20.04 to 22.04 anyways. So what's the move?

[Zren]

KDE Frameworks 5.94.0 will be release May 14th, so while it sucks distros aren't used to manually patching, it will be fixed eventually.

[TiZ-HugLife]

Oh, that's not that far away, luckily.

[LightDani]

Just want to inform that it also happens on FerenOS with KDE version 5.24.4 and framework 5.93.0
