Description Liz Lee 2025-01-14 10:52:18 UTC
In some cases the window title is very short (e.g. just "dolphin").
the non-icons-only task manager nonetheless draws the task manager button with the predefined width.
it would save space if there was an opportunity to restrict the width to the length of the window title string in cases where the string does not fill the whole width.

Thanks for the suggestion, but there's a limit as to how many options we want to add for personal preferences.
