            Bug ID: 339436
           Summary: Plasma 5 - the monitor KCM has a fixed size panel in
                    it that seems to always have its own scrollbar (in
                    addition to the one in the main KCM window) that looks
                    unsightly
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

I'm trying out the Plasma 5, Neon 5 ISO released on 29th August 2014 running
from a live USB stick.

If you launch System Settings, and go to the Monitor>Display configuration page
& click on one of the monitors in the display in the top half of the content
area then it's details appear in a box in the lower half of the content area.
With the System Settings window at its default size the contents of this box
are always too tall to fit inside the box properly (this is the same with both
Oxygen and the bulkier Breeze themes) so a vertical scrollbar appears for this
box. This scrollbar is only needed to scroll the contents of the box a very
short distance.

A second vertical scrollbar is positioned just to the right of the scrollbar
for the box - this one is for the content area as a whole and again only needs
to scroll a very short distance. I've attached a screenshot indicating the
fixed size box that's the issue.

Would it be possible to do something to remove one of the scrollbars - it might
look best to keep the right hand scrollbar that scrolls the entire content area
and redesign the box identified in the screenshot so that a scrollbar just for
it isn't needed.

Note that the new Breeze theme takes up a little more room than the Oxygen
theme - it should work with both.

Reproducible: Always
