[Bug 1438936] [NEW] indicator-multiload needs padding to avoid panel item location jitters

 

Public bug reported:

Hi everyone,

I use Unity with the indicator-multiload indicator for my network speed,
with both a graph and a text readout on the panel. The problem is that
when my network speed changes from 9.9 kB/s to 10.0 kB/s, or 99.9 kB/s
to 100.0 kB/s, the addition of additional digits makes the location of
the indicator to jump around, which in turns makes my system tray items
to the left of indicator-multiload  also jump around. The jitters are
very distracting and unprofessional. Could some additional padding be
added to indicator-multiload to prevent this?

Thanks a lot!
