Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources with few items in the panel binary and digital clocks grow too big Bug found by Georgi Ivanov, easiest way to reproduce it is removing taskbar from the panel. Digital/binary clock all of the sudden is so hungry it takes all left space (analog clock behaves ok).
It seems that part of the problem relates to the clock not being of fixed size. Since it grows with the panel growing, it occupies any available space, horizontally or vertically. This could possibly be fixed by adding an option for font size to the widget--perhaps a checkbox enabling font size adjustment. Left unchecked, the widget would continue to dynamically scale the time to fill available space.

Let's assume it is a horizontal panel, 1600x40 pixels, you drop digital clock, it will use 40y pixels, that's ok, but what it needs 1600x pixels for? It should fill the height, calculate _the needed_ width and then use it.
