From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've installed Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6 on it, but the widget system tray is not working as intended... Does someone have a solution? THX

This happened to me too. I had to grab the box that comes up and resize it like I would with a normal window, mine glitched a lot when I tried it, try resizing it as far as you can, it will try and glitch back, but just keep fighting it until it becomes a usable size, then log out of Plasma and log back in, and then you can size it back down to a normal size. Hopefully there will be an official fix for this soon

Since 30 minutes and around two reboots with a dinner between, the system tray seems to works fine, I don't know where the issue start...

Does the same happen if the panel is at the bottom of the screen?

yes... I don't know why is this happened I've seen someone having the same issue, but his solution is working for me only 1/3 time and it's not a viable solution... (https://discuss.kde.org/t/clicking-at-system-tray-on-panel-does-not-open-anything/14147)

Definitely worth reporting.
