GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 164348
Window list doesn't auto-expand
Last modified: 2005-01-17 13:37:55 UTC
With the Window list applet in Gnome 2.8 (I think, certainly in 2.6), if there was free panel space to the right of the applet, it's maximum size was larger than it's current size, and it could do with some more space (i.e. you can see the whole name of some programs) then it would expand to fit the available space. Now, with 2.9.4, the window list doesn't expand to more than it's minimum size even when there is spare space. I had used the work around of increasing it's minimum size to greater than the amount of space that it would ever have, but it then doesn't resize back down automatically like it used to when I'm shuffling around icons to the right of it.
Confusingly enough, this is actually in gnome-panel.
Actually, it's a bug in libwnck ;-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 160977 ***
