Hello Roel,

First; thanks for your reply.
If this is a feature than I belief this is not a good idea. First, the resizing is not consistent. Sometimes when you have 3 windows open it fills the whole panel and sometimes when you have 3 windows open the totally width is for example 120 pixels. Second, because of the changing size you sometimes don't know where you have to click. You have to look very carefully at the taskbar to see  where your window is. This makes it difficult to work quickly. Third, it's really distracting to see it changing all the time.
Has there been done any asability testing for this? Personally, I cant believe that the majority of the users like the behaviour.

Jeroen

are only two windows open, why would they be so small at the Window
list? I think it's a good idea to automatically fill the whole panel.
