[Bug 485352] Re: The Window List Applet in GNOME should offer a setting to permanently set an X number of rows

[Draycen DeCator]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-panel
  
- My "window list applet" style is usually on 2 rows when I have more than
- 1 window opened. However, in some circumstances, the "window list
- applet" fails to use its settings and its style changes to be only on 1
- row. See the attached screenshot "window-list-applet-bug.png", that
- explains visually the bug.
+ The "Window List Applet" automatically adjusts the number of rows based
+ on the height of the panel. However, due to the varying heights of the
+ titles for some windows (due to the height of the characters of
+ different languages, for example), this causes the applet to sometimes
+ switch between one and two rows without the height of the panel
+ changing. Instead, it would be nice if there were an official setting so
+ a specific number of rows could be set for the applet, so that it can
+ always be two rows, even if the title doesn't completely fit.
  
- I can always reproduce this bug with these steps:
- 
- 1) gnome-panel preferences are displayed in the attached screen shot
- "gnome-panel-preferences.png".
- 
- 2) "window list applet" preferences are displayed in the attached screen
- shot "window-list-applet-preferences.png".
- 
- 3) Open more than 1 window, for example Nautilus and gnome-terminal.
- 
- 4) Open the attached file "reconst_accident_fr.pdf" with Evince, or
- visit the website http://sisinmaru.blog17.fc2.com/ on a browser (I can
- reproduce the bug with Firefox, Epiphany and Liferea).
- 
- Expected results: The applet won't change
- 
- Actual result: The "window list applet" style changes. There's no longer
- 2 rows.
