KDE 5.10-->5.11 upgrade makes some panel icons not scalable

Hi, today I upgraded my KDE from 5.10 to 5.11 and I immediately noticed the systray icon size was decreased a lot after reboot. Here are my log about this upgrade (I only included those ones I suspect to be related)

[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kded (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdeclarative (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdewebkit (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdesignerplugin (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdelibs4support (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdelibs (4.14.8-1 -> 4.14.9-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-runtime (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdepimlibs (4.14.8-1 -> 4.14.9-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdepim-runtime (4.14.8-1 -> 4.14.9-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-workspace (4.11.19-1 -> 4.11.20-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-lib (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-dolphin (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-kdepasswd (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-kdialog (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-keditbookmarks (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-kfind (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-konqueror (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-konq-plugins (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:11] [ALPM] upgraded kdebase-plasma (15.04.1-1 -> 15.04.2-1)
[2015-06-17 18:12] [ALPM] upgraded plasma-framework (5.10.0-1 -> 5.11.0-2)

I downgraded kdelibs, kdebase-lib kdebase-workspace and kdebase-plasma, plasma-framework and several others which I thought most likely contributed to this bug, however after reboot I couldn't notice any difference about the icon size.

Other things I noticed which seemed to be broken: after the initial reboot, icons on my desktop are reset to the lest most position, and my panel near the bottom of desktop was also reset (all the configurations). But these two are easily fixable.

Anyone ran into this bug?

Thanks.

Re: KDE 5.10-->5.11 upgrade makes some panel icons not scalable

After some playaround I noticed that this issue is not for system tray alone. Several other widget icons on the panel are not scalable anymore. Please see the following images for demonstration:

The application launcher icon is normally scaled, while the system tray and folder launcher are not.

Tried to downgrade multiple kde-related packages without success.

Thanks

Is this reproducible with a clean user?

Re: KDE 5.10-->5.11 upgrade makes some panel icons not scalable

Thanks arojas for the reply. Yes I tried to use a cleanly created user to test the desktop and sadly it is reproducible, except for one time:  I could not remember exactly what I did but there was one time after I manually purged the home directory of the test user for everything then log back in with perhaps kdebase-workspace-4.11.9, all icons were normal. I then instantly switched to my regular user to move .config and .kde folders then log back in to see if it is a user-related issue, but it was without success. Then I tried to purge the home directory of the test user again to see if I could spot any thing interesting, then after that no matter how hard I tried I was not able to make the icons normal anymore.  So my guess is that it may not completely be a user-related issue.

Thanks again for paying attention to it.

It's not enough to clean the home dir, there are also some user-specific cache files in /var/tmp that could affect this. Is this reproducible in a *completely* fresh account?

Re: KDE 5.10-->5.11 upgrade makes some panel icons not scalable

Dear arojas, thanks for the clarification. I just did the following test:

1. Downgrade kdebase-workspace to 4.11.9-2, kdebase-plasma to 4.14.3
2. completely purge /var/tmp
3. create a new user called kdetest
4. reboot the computer, then log in as kdetest, adjusted the icon size and font size just in case they were causing the issue
5. then adjust the height of the panel.
6. the icons in the system tray were not scaled, they were still tiny

So it appears not to be a user-related issue. And downgrading only kdebase-workspace and kdebase-plasma didn't solve it neither. Do you have any other suggestions about possible package downgrade so I can test?

Thanks a lot for the concern.
