I've discovered that what appears to be unused grey space to the right of the applet is probably intentional. If you right click on the grey space you will see the options for removal.
The grey space will change colors as your stock prices rise and fall. I feel that this is a poor design since so many misunderstand what is happening. Hope this helps. -- Invest applet renders incorrectly https://launchpad.net/bugs/59060 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
