Description Zerix01 2008-07-30 15:50:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When the main panel is resized so it does not span from one side of the screen to the next. The minimum size slider and the maximum size slider settings do not make the panel resize itself.

For example if I make the panel smaller width wise and have no programs open occupying the task bar, then the panel should be as short as the minimum panel width setting, it is not. If I open programs and fill up the task bar the panel should expand until it reaches the maximum panel width, but it does not. The panel does not automatically resize itself at any point no matter what the settings are.

I think this is also related. If the sliders (both maximum and minimum) are all the way to the sides, the panel will not reconnect the ends to the sides of the screen. There is still a gap on both ends unlike the default panel setting.

autoexpansion is properly implemented now in trunk/

Does the fix deal with the following problem that I just experienced?:

After having used my laptop with an external LCD with a lower resolution earlier today (1280x1024 instead of 1400x1050), the panel now doesn't use the entire width of my laptop's build-in LCD screen. There is some free space on the right. In addition, I'm pretty sure that the icon for the classic KDE menu has gotten smaller than it was before.
