Description Josh Triplett 2009-05-25 00:19:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If you drag the GNOME panel from its existing position to a smaller
edge of the screen, the reduced space may mean the panel no longer has
any empty space to grab to drag it back.


Steps to reproduce:
Have a panel on the long edge of the screen with a few launchers, a clock, a tray, and a window list with several windows open, such that you don't have much space left in the panel.  Drag the panel from the long edge of the screen to the short edge of the screen.

Actual results:
The panel no longer has any free space to grab and drag the panel back.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

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.
