Why is the activity bar not centered?


Unsure if this is a bug or something wrong on my end

there several things about that image that are not aligned with “center”

can you be more specific or annotate your image so others know what you are talking about?

The 4 activities Background Fun Studies Work are not vertically centered in the panel. You can see the words slightly clip into the bottom border of the panel ( This is when you choose Activity bar over Activity Pager or Activity Manager )

appears to be a regression here is how it looks on my plasma 5 panel height at 44

but below that height it begins to clip the lower case j and q

tho it does remain center justified vertically.

i would file a bug report at bug.kde.org and give them similar pics for different panel heights,

tho i don’t think much work is going on with the activities function of plasmashell so i would not expect much action on this.

I have opened a bug report, thanks for the help.
