GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 723123
great number of apps on low resolution screen breaks pagination
Last modified: 2015-03-05 01:06:46 UTC
The dashboard does not resize the favorite apps icons when more are added to the dasboard, instead it extends below the bottom edge of the screen. The bottom edge of the applications' "paged listing" is truncated on each page.

Thanks for the report, as we talked in IRC I would take a look this weekend. Before I would appreciate design input, so maybe we can implement a good behaviour for that problem, instead of just clipping the shown indicators as a workaround.
The least bad solution that comes to mind is to scale the dots in a similar fashion we scale icons on the dash. It makes the paginator a kind of indicator rather than the control, but for extensive amounts of unorganized apps it _should_ hint towards either cleaning up or organizing.

Or scroll the dots according to which one is focussed? Might be less work.
It seems like the entire overview is broken. The dash is cut off as well.
Jasper: yep, that happens because the container grows, so the overview grows aswell (and the dash, etc...) Allan: seems the more reasonable solution design-wise for me.
That was fixed quite a while ago ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 723496 ***
