When using the "windows list" applet (installed by > default) on a gnome panel of at least 30 pixels placed in the right of > the screen, it's impossible to open more than 7 windows without > freezing completely Gnome-panel and needed to restart Gnome. Since > gnome-panel freeze but does not crash, I can't create a backtrace. > > This bug is due to the fact that when the gnome-panel is more than 30 > pixels, icons are shown for each windows in the panel.

Right clic on the default ubuntu bottom panel and click on "properties" > 2. Change "Bottom" to "Right" and increase the size to 30 pixels or more ( > icons must appear in the windows list in the gnome-panel when the panel is > in the right of the screen ) > 3. Once the panel is at right, open 8 windows. > > Result : Gnome panel is now completely freeze, except the notification > area. > > Tested on gutsy and hardy, gnome-panel 1:2.20.1-0ubuntu1 and > 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu1 > Tested on Debian Sid, gnome-panel 2.20.3-1 > Tested on OpenSuse, gnome-panel 2.20.0 > > Does NOT happen with : > Debian Lenny, gnome-panel 2.14.3-6 > > To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/187540/+subscribe > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 Title: Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical /"non-expanded horizontal" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
