[Bug 928985] Re: when centered dock grows, starters don't grow in the same way

 

Hi, thanks for responding!

This error occurs under archlinux with XFCE 4.8 using XFWM.

I solved this issue by starting glx-dock with  cairo-backend. Some days
after writing this bug report I read about issues with ATI-cards and
OpenGL, so using the cairo-backend was recommended. Now it works as
expected.

Title:
  when centered dock grows, starters don't grow in the same way

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi, I'm sorry if the description is a bit confusing, but it's hard to
  describe in a few words.

  Following Issue:
  My dock is on the right center of a dual screen setup, enabled with xrandr. I've got some often used launchers, they are always visible. On the attached picture the last permanent starter is sonata, the blue note.

  If I start some applications which are not added as permanent
  launchers, they are added at the bottom of the panel (in the picture
  these are the last four icons: evince, vagalume, file manager and
  viewnior). As you can also see, the panel grows asymmetrical and also
  get cut off (in fact there are three more icons above the terminal
  icon) on the upper side.

  The main aspect is, that the starters actually remain nearly in their
  original position, but the icons grow with the panel. In the picture
  you can see, that the cursor points at the Blender icon, but the GIMP
  starter gets activated.

  The attached picture shows the original behaviour on the right and the
  weird one on the left.

  Dock's version is 2.3, but the issue also appears at 2.4. I use XFCE
  4.8 with compositing (Cairo-Dock also starts with OpenGL enabled) and
  a dual screen setup on a ATi Radeon HD Card with the opensource radeon
  driver.
