#968 Taskbar trimmed. Taskbar out of screen.

[AsVHEn]

With last update on Debian (or at least my last update), now taskbar is a little broken:

• If I open multiple windows, it doesn't stop adding to it without resizing. Clock, or whatever is at right, gets displaced out of screen or overlayed (as seen on screenshots).
• If Virtual desktops is added, taskbar shows partialy (Screenshot).

I tried on 2 pcs with Debian.

Those are two different issues. The incorrect panel sizing is caused by the desktop pager applet. You can remove it, and the panel width is correct again.

Concerning the overlaying elements in the windowlist, this is an old issue which has not been solved until now. A workaround would be to decrease the width of the task buttons and to group similar applications or to use icons only, instead of icons with labels.

Those issues appear only if you compile lxpanel against GTK3, which has happened in Debian Sid recently. Besides that you might have noticed, that tooltip elements are misplaced, mostly on the upper part of the screen.

So it wont be easy it will be fixed.
Thank you.

Hello, I hit the bug in Ubuntu Openbox Remix after upgrading from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS. I have added a bug report here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/2089506/
I have not found the issue in a recent Debian Bookworm. AsVHEn does not say exactly which version of Debian was used?

Debian Trixie. It keeps bugged. I'm using Mate until it works again.
