Applets are jumping around (possibly related to overflow priority or something?) #296

....I don't even know how to describe this issue well, so here's a video:

To reproduce

My panel config: https://github.com/ryanabx/ryanabx-containers/tree/main/extra/cosmOS_overlay/usr/share/cosmic/com.system76.CosmicPanel.Panel/v1

I have a lot of pinned apps, and a few non pinned apps open.

I am at 150% scaling

It becomes an issue when you open a lot of apps it seems, which implies to me that the app list overflow menu has something to do with it

Ya, overflow handling can be improved. I think situations like this could probably be avoided if applets like app tray set their min and max size, and the panel uses these hints for layout.

So app tray is currently not doing that?

No I don't believe so. This is an improvement that has been discussed before, but I've not implemented it yet.
