Created attachment 8915 Too wide In Xubuntu 18.10 and newer windowlist invoked via "xfdesktop -W" (assigned to keyboard shortcut) is too wide. Seems it as wide as the most wide title of currently present windows. In Xubuntu 18.04 width was the same as of windowlist shown by "window menu" applet from xfce panel.
Screenshot is from xfdesktop 4.13.3-0ubuntu2, xubuntu 19.04.

Strange how this wasn't a problem in Xubuntu 18.04 as you reported, because the faulty code was introduced 13 years ago: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/src/windowlist.c?id=ffa32b1

I've attached confirming screenshot.
