what version you're using, it's svn? it's the beta? it seems an old problem please reopen if you still have this bug with a newer version of plasma Do not close bugs. if you have not tried reproducing them first! Current SVN still has this issue. I can't reproduce this with current SVN. Click on the thingy in the top-right of the desktop, unlock the widgets, click again to open the add-plasmoid window, drag the fuzzy clock to the left-edge of the panel, i.e. to the right of the digi-clock and drop it. Yesterday's SVN.I'm just rebuilding, if I do not post anything, today's has the issue too. > Click on the thingy in the top-right of the desktop, unlock the

Right edge of the panel is what I meant.
I don't even get any drop space on the right of the digital clock. The only way I can add it to the right end of the panel is by opening "add widgets" from the panel menu and clicking "add widget" there. Yes, adding plasmoids is a bit buggy, because something changes the "ok to drop" cursor to "forbidden". But you have to try a few ways around the panel, i.e. leave the panel and re-enter it again. It does work after some trying. What works best for me is if you move the mouse at the very top of the panel, just above the digi-clock, then to the right and down after you are past the digi-clock. If the "forbidden" cursor is activated again, move the mouse a tiny bit up again, while still staying on the panel and you will get the "ok to drop" again. For me it does not matter whether the plasmoid is added from the add plasmoid window opened by the desktop-thingy or the panel-thingy. I did not file the above although it is quite annoying, because I was not sure how the chances are to get it fixed. If you don't file the bug report, the chances are significantly less than if you do... That's absolutely true. I'll do so. I just noticed that the panel shows the correct size and position, if it paints the grey area which is used to indicate where the plasmoid will be moved to. This is still valid for RC1. I'll attach my plasma rcs so you can see the issue. There is a fuzzy-clock inbetween the sloid-notifier and the systray which overlaps the systray. Created attachment 26193 [details]

It seems to be a problem with tall panels. If I put the panel in the region of 50px high, the fuzzy clock disappears off the right of the screen if I put it at the right. Similarly, the binary clock gets cut off on the left and right if I place it just to the right of the application launcher. If I bring the panel down to, say 30px, the problem disappears. > If I put the panel in the region of 50px high, the fuzzy clock disappears > off the right of the screen if I put it at the right.

For the fuzzy clock this is solved in branch. The panel did not give it the size it needed on resize(), so one has to force the size by setting the minimum size to the size one needs. It works with low heights for the fuzzy clock because then the width it claims is not wider than the width it got from the panel. I do not know why the panel does not give it the size it needs, since the taskbar should be flexible enough to give up some horizontal space. *** Bug 173768 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Quoting comment #15: > Similarly, the binary clock gets cut off on the left and right if I place it > just to the right of the application launcher. For me this is still the case. My binary clock resides at the most right place of the panel and the left and right column are cut off if seconds are shown. If I disable seconds display, the clock almost fits into its place. Only the leftmost line of the grid is hidden. I do not want to be rude or something so I will not reopen for now. However, an explanation would make it easier to handle this report for everyone who's following it. Regards Frederik: that's a rather different issue. what used to happen was that the panel would simply not contain the widgets properly and they'd do crazy silly things (it's still possible for widgets to misbehave, but they sort of have to go out of their way to do so now). but now if widgets aren't showing themselves fully, it's either a sizehint problem in the widget or the panel has physically run out of width/height on screen. we've got reports open for these other things (though not sure about seconds on the binary clock specifically, so maybe one for that would be good) but this bug itself has been fixed. hth. Thank you for your explanation. I was just confused because my report (made a duplicate in comment #17) was about the cut off columns. So I thought this was the same issue. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to explain this. :) i can confirm this on KDE 4.2 Beta1. Is it fixed in svn?? |
