Task Manager (Kicker) bar and grouping

Hello -  On both openSuSE42.2 and openSuSE42.3 x64 systems I am running
the KDE desktop and encounter an annoying problem with task manager bar
(some call it the kicker bar I think). I have the manager bar configured
to group windows belonging to the same application to be shown as a
single icon. For example, if I am running Firefox and have multiple
windows/Firefox processes running, these are all grouped under a single
icon in the task bar for Firefox. Clicking on that icon brings up a
pop-up window showing all the individual Firefox windows allowing me to
select one to open up. The problem is that the popup is not being
position on the screen correctly and some of the individual window icons
in the list remain hidden/inaccessible behind the task manager bar. I
cannot find a setting in any of the configuration menus that allow me to
correct and fix this annoyance and the only workaround is to ungroup the
icons so that they are all shown individually on the task manager bar.
But with lots of open windows that becomes a PITA also.

Things I have tried include resizing the task manager bar and the icons
but no joy. Is there any way to fix this so that it works as one would
expect, i.e. position the popup window so that all the icons for all the
windows for a particular application are shown?  Thanks in advance for
any kind words of advice....

    Marc...

P.S. I might have asked this before, but cannot find the thread if so,
or what the answer was...
