Questions about KDE, Plasma

The task bar/main bar got uplifted in idle; some pixels below it are unused (showing the wallpaper’s edge area). Whenever a somewhat-fullscreen application like a web browser is started, the bar gets lowered to the screen’s lower edge like on Plasma 5. But closing the aforementioned application (web browser) causes the task bar/main bar to uplift itself by those few pixels. I think I can get used to this mechanism over a longer time, but I would like to know if there is a way to disable it. I prefer my task bar/main bar on the very “ground” of the screen at all the time.

Right click in the taskbar. Select “Show Panel Configuration.” Under “Style” you can turn on “Floating” (which behaves as you describe) or turn it off (which sticks the panel to the bottom of the screen.)

I am unable to reproduce anything else you mentioned.

I’m using Rock 6.0 with X11.

If you are using Wayland, this may help:
