When using a vertical panel, the task list isn't really usable, told us a debian user [0].

Problem is that you can set the minimum width but not the minimum height, wich is more meaningful in a vertical panel.

I don't know if there's a way to have the task list behaves nicely in a vertical panel anyway, but it'd be nice. Bug reporter suggests to wrap the text.

Yeah I know. Working a bit on an improved version of the tasklist to merge it with the iconbax. Will look into this problem too.

The libwnck tasklist probably does a better job then the netk tasklist. Setting milestone to 4.8 panel so I don't forget when changing the tasklist plugin.

4.8 Panel rotates the labels on the button, I doubt it will get any better. Other ideas are welcome.

Devel branch has been merged in master. A 4.7.0 release will follow soon. If you think this bug is not fixed? Feel free to reopen the bug.
