Created attachment 2280 screenshot of issue First let me say thank you for the work done on the new version, people don't make bug reports to thank developers for features they really like, so you will see some bug reports about some negative experiences but keep in mind that I will always have positive experiences to ;-) I upgraded my xfce4-panel on my debian unstable testing system and I notched that when only one item is in the task list the item is is very width. When a second item is added to the task list the first item resizes to an nice acceptable size. Would it be possible to give the first item the same width as when there are two items in the task list, so a resize is not necessary. The resizing and visual changing of the width of the task list item is can be found very distracting. Is there any reason why to put the users thought these visual distractions what is the added value? $ dpkg -l | grep panel ii xfce4-clipman-plugin 2:0.9.1-1 ii xfce4-panel 4.6.0-2 I f the issue is fixed, I am willing to make donation to you or the xfce project. Thanks in advance, Jelle de Jong
The devel panel will have a tunable style property (for in .gtkrc-2.0) to tune this. The default width with be 200px, you can set it to -1 to expand all buttons to the available width. # The maximum length of a button before the label ellipsizes. # When this value is set to -1 the button will expand to the # entire available space. XfceTasklist::max-button-length = 200
