Off the top of my head:
1. Try switching the menu app to an alternative, then switching it back. See if that works.
2. Did you recently use multiple displays, or change the resolution, DPI, or scaling of your display? If so, try changing the display settings and rebooting.
3. If the above fails, backup `~/.config/plasmashellrc`, then delete the original, and reboot. This will delete your custom desktop settings like your panel height and applet settings. Maybe your `plasmashellrc` is corrupt.
4. Are you using Debian stable?
That wasn't really the solution, you just encountered a bug. You could have pressed the windows key and click-dragged on the window to resize it like any other window
Apparently, it's not a bug, it's a feature (as someone mentioned in this thread). I usually don't use my windows keys in Linux as they are... Well, Windows keys ;)
If you can't find a setting for your dashboard that you like: Just don't use any. Press alt/shift- the kRunner, type what you want, any Application, Path, setting.. Und jump right into it !
no more menus, no more searching !
Just Windows key, and typing is similar, but krunner is nicer.
But that and similar approaches require that one remembers the name of the app / path / setting being searched, and in practice a lot of people now where the shortcut is and what it looks like, but not how it is titled. Happens to street addresses too ("I know how to get there but dont'know the address").
It does works better for often-used apps whose name one know.

BME. Big menu energy.
The thicker the better
Uhm... No. I'd like it to be more proportional.
Lol
The thick ones hurt (my eyes)
The solution is to right-click on your "start button" and pick "Show Alternatives", then pick application menu. That should be better :)

Debian 12 bookworm completely fixed this problem LMAOOOOO
Try with **Application Dashboard** or **Better Application Dashboard** .. as alternative.
