This is a pretty serious bug because you can't drag the bar back down with your mouse, you have to recheck the expand option. Isn't that really confusing for new users?
I'm using feisty with all updates applied. My panel version is: $ gnome-panel --version GNOME gnome-panel 2.17.92 I have the exact same problem as mentioned above. My resolution is set correctly (1400x1050 IBM T43 with Radion M300 running OS driver) in both gnome's resolution application and in xorg.conf, which I haven't modified (except to add middle mouse scroll or something). I really hope this gets squashed before release time... it's a biggun... ** Attachment added: "screenshot showing problem in newest update of feisty" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6581970/gnome-panel.png -- Panel in middle of the screen after reboot when not full-sized https://launchpad.net/bugs/39856 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
