I have made some testing and it's a bug in the GTK theme (or perhaps the engine?), not in the actual applet. Changing the default (Ambiance) theme to some other (like, for example, Lucid X) fixes this issue (or not, depending on how the theme is designed, I suppose).
That said, the bug remains open, since the default theme on Ubuntu carries this behavior, and new users are inflicted with it. The first usability impression is what counts most, and this bug doesn't help it. -- Window List applet doesn't follow Fitt's Law https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551233 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
