Once "Auto Hide" has kicked in, the panel doesn't resize itself while hidden.

This is no big problem if this would occur only after a icon is added to the system tray, but occasionaly the panel is only ~10 px wide after logging in...

Reproducible: Sometimes

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a hard problem to fix. I don't think I will be able to do much, if anything, about this before 4.4.

My panel with 'auto-hide' after login

This is what my panel looks like when logging off and back on again.

The same panel after manually opening it

This is the same panel in it's full glory after opening it manually.

The panel remains very small (sometimes even not visible) if I don't open it...

Can we expect a backport of this fix in 4.6?

Well the code is different, but I can take a look.

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.
