Limits on resizing windows

[chimak111]

I know that certain System Settings windows can't be reduced below a certain size by design. Can someone please point me to the relevant bug?

"...by design."

Wouldn't that negate such limitation from being a "relevant bug?"

The context was this: How to resize window system settings kde neon? [on hold] which provides this image and not much more. But I'm guessing the poster was trying to reduce the size of the System Settings window.

On my 19.04 (with Plasma 5.16.2), I can't make the window smaller than what's shown in the image below:

dkb@kudd:~$ xwininfo

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
       would like information by clicking the
       mouse in that window.

-geometry 1024x605+190-25

Again, I'm guessing the decision to keep a certain minimum size was by design to avoid the types of issues referred to in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389585.

I just can't find a source, bug report or otherwise (VDG decision ,phabricator link, etc), I could point to for those who want to reduce window size of certain windows but find that they can't.

I think I found what I was looking for:

Call `setMinimumSize()` at each run to enforce a minimum size. Any enlarged size will be saved and restored via the customary method of saving window geometry.
