Description Cyril Levet 2024-02-24 09:58:26 CET

Description of problem:
When using the default application launcher kicker with KDE/Plasma 6, the taskbar constantly moves to adapt its position. It depends on the menu length. It's annoying to see the task bar constantly hoping.

If it's a new Plasma feature, we can force the taskbar to stay glued at the bottom like in the old plasma version or switch to kickoff by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plasma-workspace-5.93.0-1


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the menu
2. Navigate in the menu

Changed to major as this is virtually unusable as it is.
