GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 149804
Buttons don't use available space
Last modified: 2005-01-28 18:26:45 UTC
Description of Problem: I have the standard setup of a window list at a bottom panel (to the left) and a workspace manager on the same panel (to the right). If I have, say, 5 windows, there are 5 buttons on the Window List. However, they are gathered tight together to the left so that there is not enough room to display their titles - even though there is plenty of space to the right. The buttons could easily have been double size, but they aren't. Interesting thing is when I bring up the preferences for the workspace manager, the buttons of the window list spaces out correctly, but as soon as I close the prefs dialog, they shrink to their former diminished shapes.
I also have this problem and find it to be dependent on the length of the text which occupies the buttons. Particularly annoying when I'm running a script in a terminal and the title changes rapidly, making the buttons jump all over the place.
Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.
