The root cause seems to be that libwnck (the window list) is providing a size hint based on the desired width of the buttons * the number of columns (based on 25 characters visible), and gnome-panel using that hint to determine the vertical size of the switcher.
The patch here still has issues with more than 7 windows open as described on 152838 and 43066, which their patch addresses. They don't fix the hinting issue however, which leaves the window list set at a maximum height of [width of 25 chars * number of columns]. -- Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is on the right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
