Preliminary Checks

  • I have read and understood the important section above.
  • I have searched existing issues and avoided creating duplicates.
  • I am not filing an enhancement request.
  • I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
  • I have checked that this issue can be reproduced once I removed all my Mods and Custom CSS.

What happened?

I have the panel on the right, and im using wayland with plasma DE with kwin.
when i set the scaling to anything other than 100/200% from settings and maximize the browser, the panel inst opening on hover. However, if I press the shortcut to open it, or if it isnt maximized, it works.
I have tried it on multiple monitors, its behaving in the same way on each.

pc: intel i5 cpu, 16gb ram, integrated graphics. hardware acceleration is on.
Zen Version: 1.21.6b (64-bit): downloaded from aur using zen-browser-bin
using arch with kernel version 6.18.38-1-lts
