Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfce4-panel
Steps to reproduce:
1. New install of Xubuntu 9.10
2. Customize panel... for the panel at the top of the screen (the one with the
clock on it).
3. Choose one of the left or right vertically oriented panel positions.
4. BUG: Notice that the digital clock is now clipped because the text needs
more space than the panel offers.
Obviously, if the panel is made wider, the digital clock text has room
to show itself, but I like the Gnome clock that orients along with the
panel reorientation. This allows me to keep the thin, default panel
size, but have it sideways and still be able to read the time.
As a widescreen laptop user, I prefer to have my top panel on the left.
Some possible solutions:
- Add an option for the Clock that offers the ability to orient it sideways (L
or R) so that the digital (and other text-based) clocks can be oriented
sideways.
