<p>the panel containment is a layout - the system tray's current only size hint is minimum and it doesn't have a Layout.fillHeight - which means any other item which does have a fillHeight: true will force this system tray to it's minimum size. Effectively what this patch is doing.</p>
<p>if no item with fillHeight exists, the panel will create a spacer (panel.qml checkLastSpacer) with Layout.fillHeight=true<br />
so we can always be sure (in theory) that something in that layout does have that.</p></div>

<p>unfortunately seems to be needed in vertical panels.<br />
the taskbar should have fillHeight, and indeed scales correctly, without setting the maximum height, the systray gets stretched as well (i can reproduce the screenshot attached to <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368146" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368146</a>) can you try locally if it reproduces for you?</p>
<p>it tries to stretch the systray a bit (not huge, just a tad too much) never the less, hmm maybe preferredwidth defaults to too much?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>rPLASMAWORKSPACE Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D2645" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D2645</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>EMAIL PREFERENCES</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>mart, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>davidedmundson, plasma-devel, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas<br /></div>
