Package: mate-panel Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I change the layout to put the bottom panel to the top (such that there is 2 panels at the top), everything works fine until I restart the session. Then the screen is empty with a flickering blank panel at the top. Switching to the console, I can see that mate-panel is eating 100% CPU and eventually dies because of out of memory condition. This is 100% reproducible. I have to reset the panel to be able to login again: DISPLAY=:0.0 mate-panel --reset sudo service lightdm restart I have searched on internet, and several people have the same problem, but I can't find any bug report, so there it is. This is annoying. I just upgraded from squeeze that I have run for several years, and I would like to put the two panels to the top like I'm used to. I have not tested if the problem is still there with more recent versions of mate-panel. Even if it was fixed in a later version, I cannot afford to run anything but debian stable. I'm willing to help by testing any fix. Thank you for your help.
