That is what you would get if you removed the ... from the bar when they
get resized.

I never understood why there was a ... when no text could fit.

How simple a solution can be! Did you file a bug on this already?

Is there a reason why DockbarX is not suitable for this? I've attached a screenshot incase people dunno what I'm talking about :)

Because DockbarX [1] doesn't fix the problem.
AIUI, DockbarX shows small untitled buttons (every)where Window List would show large titled ones, in that way it does not behave properly for the proposed fix-to-be-made.
I do like much of the ideas, especially initiating the compiz window picker from dockbarx is cool
