Example with 2 virtual desktop

SUMMARY

THIS IS JUST A LAYOUT PROBLEM
While using a vertical sidebar layout combined with multiple virtual desktop inside the same row the widget is basically impossible to look at or use it (see attached screenshot). In order to switch virtual desktop with the mouse wheel you have to aim the widget.
It would be nice to enhance the height of the widget or create an option where just a single desktop is visible with a number that indicates in which virtual desktop the user is.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Vertical sidebar layout
2. Multiple vertical desktop inside the same row (more than 2)

OBSERVED RESULT
The widget becomes basically invisible and unusable

EXPECTED RESULT
