Attachments:	Panel after I've made the vbox window shrinks horizontally panel after making the vbox window wider

Description Achim Bohnet 2016-09-13 11:09:45 UTC

neon dev unstable (master)
With making the Virtualbox window wider in horizontal direction, the panel does not expand to maximal width.  Panel does not change size and is left aligned.

Windows do not have the problem:
  Start konsole
  right-click on maximized button -> window maximzed in horizontal direction
  resize vbox window horizontally
 -> konsole follow the bigger width (panel does not :-( )


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
My environment: neon dev unstable (kde git master branch pkgs) in Virtualbox 5.0.24 (host kubuntu xenial)
1. Create a new user login
2. make the Vbox window bigger in horizontal direction.


Actual Results:  
Panel does not resize.  Is only left aligned

Expected Results:  
Panel is still maximised (stays left and right aligned) as in in the last years.

Windows do not have the problem:
  Start konsole
  right-click on maximized button -> window maximzed in horizontal direction
  resize vbox window horizontally
 -> konsole follow the bigger width (panel does not :-( )

Comment 3 Achim Bohnet 2016-09-13 11:20:04 UTC

On each logout/login: Panel is maximzed again !  (until you resize the vbox window again):

* make window wider -> panel does not adapt to new horziontal size
* logout/login -> panel uses again the full horizontal width
* make window wider/shrink -> panel does not adapt to new horziontal size :-(

Git commit f7469f6f0f645836122febaa74e4bb601b8cdea1 by Marco Martin.

Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

restore panel when screen geometry changes

the panel size and position is saved per-screen resolution
so at different resolutions (or different screens) the panel always goes
back where it was with the size it had.
this should give a more deterministic behavior to the panel
when resizing the screen (like virualbox) or docking to
an external docking styation
