Description Mike 2008-04-12 17:34:52 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If you place a task manager on the desktop and then resize it to be very wide (somewhere over 1200 pixels), it disappears.  The add widget dialog still shows it as being added but it does not show.

Nothing is output at the terminal when the widget disappears.

how old is your svn checkout? here it works just fine
try with the very last svn because almost everything changed

my guess: you're resizing it relative to the center, so the topleft corner moves way up off the screen. then it forces itself back down to a small size (because it's stupid), staying at that topleft position, so it ends up offscreen.

this should be solved by making the task manager not be stupid, but it would be nice to see more protection against applets wandering out of their containments in general.

ooouch didn't tought about that, yeah, would be ugly indeed :(
will be nice once plasma will be behaving decentrly again if when havin a grid of many containments, doing that and zooming out the taskbar has effectively migrated to somewhere else :)

I think this is fixed now, there are other problems with taskbar on the desktop but this is not one of them.
