As I think I said I have no issues with iceweasel on Plasma 5 session. Self- compiled KF5 and KDEPIM together with Plasma 5 packages from Debian Sid. Also I do not think above bug is related, cause it refers to a wayland session. I pretty much guess that you are not using a wayland session, but an X11 one. Also I often do not notice new mails to this thread, cause even with Full HD resolution the thread moved out towards the right. On any account I suggest you take this up with Plasma developers or more Plasma specific user forums as here you appear mostly talking with yourself. It may even make sense to try to ask on IRC. Filing an own bug report with a consice and detailed summary of your issue + all data may also help, but it may happen it takes a while till you receive a response. Anyway, during Christmas time and otherwise as well I would be gentle in requesting developer time, but I imagine that a dev may be interested into actually solving the issue provided that you are willing to take the time to gather all data necessary to do it as the developer requests you to. I made this experience recently, Sandro asked me to attach gdb to the kmail process do find the root cause for issues with displaying inline pgp encrypted mails. We did. And he fixed the issue. On any account I suggest you look broader than this forum as it appears to me that you did not receive any helpful hints there recently and the cause for this may just be that no one knows. As to display manager: I do use sddm. As thats the one that upstream uses and I expect it to be the best tested one with a Plasma session. Thanks, -- Martin
