Description Sergej Kotliar 2006-02-28 23:23:22 UTC 
Hi! This is a slightly rare bug, but when it does happen it very quickly freezes the system up in a race condition, forcing you to use the restart button.

How to reproduce?
1. Don't run anything remotely important.
2. Add a vertical panel to either side of the screen (make it attach to the top panel. or spread across the full height).
3. At the top of this panel, add a drawer.
4. Right-click the drawer, and increase it's size.
5. When it starts reaching 100px in width (and there's no more space for it to grow vertically), notice it's shaking and your processor spiking at 100%. Quickly try to kill it by going to a terminal.

Not a very noticable bug, but it's there, and probably easy to fix. If I can trace it somehow, let me know.

Forgot to add: this bug is noticeable in FC4 (GNOME 2.10) as well as Ubuntu Dapper (2.13), so it's been there a while...

Confirmed for 2.14.

This works with a horizontal panel, too (at about 81px).  I have also been able to cause problems by resizing the drawer in the middle of the panel, then moving it to the side of the panel while open.

After logging back in, as long as the drawer is not opened, it can be deleted or moved to the middle of the panel and reduced in size without problems.
