Description Arvind Narayanan 2004-06-13 17:01:13 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When the window list applet is dragged from the
bottom panel to the top panel, the top edge of the
screen doesn't work, i.e, there's a one pixel gap
between the applet and the top edge.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start with a single panel setup (like in Fedora)
2. Create a new panel
3. Drag the window list applet from the bottom
panel to the top

Actual Results:
"Throwing" the mouse to the top edge and clicking
doesn't work.

Expected Results:

How often does this happen? 
Always

Additional Information:
GNOME version 2.4

It works correctly if I add a new panel and add
the applet to the panel instead of dragging it
from another panel
Comment 1 Arvind S N 2004-06-14 02:59:27 UTC 
Checked on 2.6.1 version of the panel. I am not able to simulate this. Anyone
else seeing this ?
Comment 2 Arvind Narayanan 2004-06-14 09:03:17 UTC 
I checked in 2.6, I couldn't reproduce it either.
Comment 3 Arvind Narayanan 2004-06-15 08:22:56 UTC 
Today its happening in 2.6 even when applet is newly added. Seems completely
random now :(
Comment 4 Arafat Medini 2004-06-16 19:46:28 UTC 
I am not able to simulate this!!!
works fine for me!
Comment 5 Craig Routledge 2004-06-17 21:59:32 UTC 
I had this problem on a fresh Fedora Core 2 installation.  I had taken the panel
at the bottom of the screen and dragged it (window list and all) to the top.

I added a second window list applet which did not have the problem and deleted
the first.

Using the gnome-panel-2.6.0-9 and gnome-applets-2.6.0-5 packages from the
distribution.
Comment 6 Craig Routledge 2004-06-20 15:14:49 UTC 
Gap re-appears after logging out.  For me, it is entirely reproducible.  A newly
created window list in my panel always obeys Fitt's Law.  It always then reverts
after logging out.  This happens at any panel size and for panels at both the
top and bottom of the screen.

This looks like a dup of bug 121239.
