Description Vladimir Hidalgo 2008-10-30 13:26:45 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If you unexpand the gnome-panel and then you try set the alignment (Top, Bottom, Left, Right, etc.) you'll get a weird final position. This does not happen when panel is expanded.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the panel as unexpanded
2. Change Alignment of the panel
3. See the new estrange position

Actual results:
Gnome-panel get a estrange position on screen.

Expected results:
To see gnome-panel have the same position as happen when doing same steps but with gnome-panel expanded

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

As mentioned on the Launchpad report, there is the following workaround if you restart and your panel is going haywire:
- Check "Expand"
- Set the desired orientation
- Uncheck "Expand"

But you have to do it every time your session starts.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
