SUMMARY when the Latte contents exceed the maximum length then there are cases that the automatic icon size algorithm breaks by constantly shrinking/expanding the items size until the user changes somehow the contents layout, e.g. by opening/closing an application.
Have been seeing this bug with Latte Dock for a long time, since version 0.8.x or perhaps even earlier, and still experiencing it on Latte Dock 0.9.4.
Adjusting the dock length temporarily fix the problem, but not permanently, it just makes the problem to occur at a different dock length.

If the dock is placed vertically it's very easy to reproduce, and very annoying. I've filled a new bug because I couldn't find this one, but it's not RARE CASES when you have your taskbar at one of your monitor sides

Git commit 9739c43674fbf3b19b6a13584a7364998a49b0d5 by Michail Vourlakos. Committed on 01/12/2019 at 17:17. Pushed by mvourlakos into branch 'v0.9'. introduce AutomaticItemSizer and add protector --the automatic item sizer algorithm now is present in its own class/responsibility area. As a new improvement/fix the new implementation provides also a protector/tracker that when the current prediction to grow has already be applied two steps back in history then the growing is not applied. This way endless loops with growings and shrinks are blocked.
