If i add a lot of plugins to a panel the panel does not have room for all the plugins at once.
It seems the panel just clips the plugins where there is not room for more.

I would like an option to access the hidden plugins even when there is not enough room.
Like an > arrow or something like that to show the rest.
Maybe drop down the remaining icons/etc. or drop down a list with names or scroll the whole panel sideways and then also have a < arrow at the other end to scroll the other way. Or maybe have < and > at the same end so the user dont have to move the cursor much.

Something like what the window list plugin is capable off.
But i suppose it should be built into the panel rather then being a new plugin because then it will only work if the plugin is added to the panel.
