Re: fix bugs before adding new features

That is what I said, space is being reserved for the hidden External Taskbar and that is a bug.

This is not the way it worked in 3.4.x or, IIRC, any previous 3.x.y version.
To elaborate on this, in 3.4.x, two hidden panels could be on the same side of the screen as long as there was some way to determine which one would unhide when you did what. In my case I have the External Taskbar in the left bottom and a Panel in the left top. Since neither one is full "length" (actually height) there was never a problem. Now in 3.5.0, a full height space is reserved for both of them (full height space is being reserved for the External Taskbar) with the result that the left top Panel has spaced reserved near the center of the screen where it can never go unless both the External Taskbar and the Panel were unhidden at the same time which is usually impossible.

This behavior not being wanted, might be the case in some instances, but as you can see this is not always the case and does not work with my DeskTop setup. Therefore, as I said, if this "feature" is what is wanted, it is going to have to be a configurable option. |
