Description Hal Ashburner 2004-10-15 13:46:03 UTC 
This is trivial, but I figure the devels of this cool panel applet will want to know

Gnome 2.6
Debian Sid
Kernel 2.6.6
Metacity Window Manager

1) grab any window at the top
2) drag it off the bottom of the screen (so only the top of the window is showing
3) watch the selected workspace become bigger in the switcher applet
Comment 1 Vincent Noel 2004-10-15 19:14:36 UTC 
Confirmed.
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2004-10-15 19:21:43 UTC 
I don't seem to be able to see this.  I do, however, see the window being drawn
beyond the bottom of the workspace (and below the bottom of other workspaces). 
Am I doing something wrong to trigger this, or is Gnome 2.8 different than Gnome
2.6 in this respect?
Comment 3 Vincent Noel 2004-10-16 16:34:50 UTC 
No, I thought that when the reporter said "the workspace becomes bigger" that
was what he meant...
The window dragged off the bottom of the screen kind of expands below the limits
of the workspace switcher.
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2004-10-19 22:34:31 UTC 
Same as bug 134646?
Comment 5 Hal Ashburner 2004-10-20 03:14:05 UTC 
Further information.
This only happens when the panel is at the top of the screen.
The applet works fine when it attached to a panel at the bottom of the screen.

Add step:
0.5) move panel to top of screen.

It doesn't seem to matter if the switcher applet is 2 rows or one, with 6 or 4
desktops.
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2004-10-20 04:16:41 UTC 
No, there are still problems when there's a panel at the bottom of the
screen--they're just not as bad as when there's no panel.
Comment 7 Vincent Noel 2005-01-28 15:14:10 UTC 
Moving to right component. Sorry for the spam.
Comment 8 Vincent Untz 2006-02-18 11:16:21 UTC 
I can see the workspace becoming bigger too using two lines in my workspace switcher. It's a nice bug :-)
