Created attachment 122775 [details] Screenshot of the issue. SUMMARY When character strings overlap on the dock/panel itself lattedock will shrink, i.e the dock remains the horizontal length stays the same but the vertical length will shorten. This can occur with Active window control when show title is set to "always fit" and the title is several lines long. This can also occur when active window control is left justified and global menu is middle justified and there are a lot of global menu entries. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a latte dock panel. 2. Set alignment to justify. 3. On the left justify add active window control to the panel with window title/application title enabled. 4. In the middle justify add global menu 5. on the right hand side add widgets (the goal is to force strings/widgets to ovrelap) 6.Open an app with lots of global menu entries (tex studio, calibre, etc). This works best on a smaller resolution screen (1366 x 768 in my case) 7. lattedock will shrink OBSERVED RESULT After strings/widgets overlap in lattedock, the dock/panel will shrink vertically by approx half EXPECTED RESULT Widgets should be aware of space taken up in lattedock and accomidate widget icons/strings.
