Glad you solved your problem. As John suggested, right-click just to the left of the first window's button and turn on 'Lock To Panel' to stop it moving again.

Here is a very rough guide... 1) Try drag the application list back into place by clicking the middle mouse button slightly to the left of the first application box (may require a little trial and error) 2) Right click with the mouse lightly to the left of the first application box and you should get a menu that has Move as an option. If you are still having problems, right click on either panel and select create new panel. Add the application list and any other components you want to the new panel. When you are happy delete the orignial panel and drag the new one in its place. You can lock items to the panel to stop you accidentally dragging them into a different position - right click somewhere on the panel item to get its menu. -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] application indicator
Hi Norman, you may have added a divider into the panel or an object into the panel that takes up room but is invisible. Try right clicking the "space" and see if you get a "remove from panel" option Mark On 21 April 2010 09:22, Norman Silverstone wrote: > I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and have used Ubuntu from the very first version. > When an application is selected a box appears on the bottom panel with > the application name etc. and the first application selected always > appears on the extreme left hand side of the panel.

[ubuntu-uk] application indicator
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and have used Ubuntu from the very first version. When an application is selected a box appears on the bottom panel with the application name etc. and the first application selected always appears on the extreme left hand side of the panel. At least it did until this morning. I must have done something of which I am not aware and now the first application box appears on the bottom panel about 4cm in from the LHS. It is almost as if another application has been selected which has no name and no box but occupies the space of a box. Has anyone any idea on what I need to do to rectify this situation, please.
