The default character-wise resizing of the +frame depends on whether the window manager is willing to process the +hints provided by Emacs; evidently, Wayland-based window managers no +longer do. + +One workaround is to customize frame-resize-pixelwise to a non-nil +value. Another workaround is to add a window rule in KDE Plasma's +System Settings (under "Window Management->Application settings for +Emacs->Size and Position") that forces KDE Plasma to obey geometry +restrictions. + +Yet another solution is to use the PGTK build of Emacs, which works +better on Wayland. + ** Lisp problems *** Changes made to .el files do not take effect.
