archive containing the latte config and a screenshot (top picture margin length = 0, bottom picture margin length = 100)

SUMMARY
Compiled Latte-Dock v0.9.2 from source, following the instructions written in installation.md. Had to add the dependency 'libkf5sysguard-dev', otherwise build fails. 

My configuration uses a latte panel on the top of the monitor. The widgets look pretty close to each other. I tried to set Appearance -> Margins -> Length up to 100%, but there is no influence on the panel (or better, there is a slight movement on the far right, but it's just a few pixel. Look at the screenshot in the attachment). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on the panel -> Dock Settings -> Appearance -> Margin -> Length
2. Move the slider on the entire range, widgets on the panel will not apply the margin.
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
The margin to be applied to the widgets.

this file is community-distro updated and I do not take any part in updating it. Everyone can send a patch to update that file to work the best for its distro.

you are right with 0.9.2 this is valid but it has already been fixed for upcoming 0.9.3. The v0.9 branch can be found at: https://phabricator.kde.org/source/latte-dock/browse/v0.9/

you can test it out if you want and report back your findings
