Bug#1023880: mate-panel: workspace-switcher applet doesn't maintain aspect ratio with panel resize
Package: mate-panel
Version: 1.27.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mkupfer@alum.berkeley.edu
Dear Maintainer,
This is a continuation of bug#995601, which went away on its own back
in June but is back now. I had tried to reopen 995601, but it's
already been archived, so here's a new bug.
In my Bookworm VM (VirtualBox 7), the thumbnails in the workspace
switcher appear to be in portrait layout, with the height greater than
the width. I expect the aspect ratio of the thumbnails to match (more
or less) the display, which is wider than the height. (See bug#995601
for some screenshots.)
Here's some additional information:
I created a new user account on the VM and logged in, and I noticed
something interesting. On the initial login, the applet thumbnails
are a little narrow relative to the display's aspect ratio (see the
"24 pixels" attachment), but not too bad. If I increase the panel
size to 36 pixels, the applet increases in height, but its width
remains the same, giving it a noticeably odd shape (see the "36
pixels" attachment). I also took a screenshot with the panel at the
smallest possible height ("19 pixels"). Again, the width of the
applet remained the same; just the aspect ratio changed. I hope this
is helpful in tracking down the problem.
best regards,
mike
