Panel on left side overlaps desktop windows

[fourwood]

Operating System: Solus 2017.04.18.0 Budgie version: Budgie v10.3.1-414-g7561deb1

The issue encountered I tried out the new(ish) capability of putting the panel on the left side of my screen, and you can move windows behind a portion of it. It looks like windows get stopped at the right edge of application icons, so the gutter area between the icons and the right edge of the panel can overlap a window (and thus overlaps any maximized window). I'm still using arc-darker as my theme (per the screenshot). It seems like Adapta has this problem too, but the panel in Adapta is much smaller so it looks like the overlap is maybe only 2-3 pixels.

Screenshot:

Steps to reproduce the issue

• Put the panel on the left side
• Maximize a window, or drag a window all the way to the left

Upon further research it appears to be a problem with switching on 'AM/PM' for the clock. 24-hour time seems to work correctly, but if the panel has to expand from adding in the AM/PM then you get this problem.

What is your panel size? It looks like you have it set to something very unrealistic.

[fourwood]

I think I was using 38px or so, at least close to the smallest width for that particular icon size set to just minimize empty space. It essentially seems to transition into normal behavior at/above about 52px.

I guess I sort of agree with you, in the sense that if the clock is wider than the panel size then you have it set to something "unrealistic", so it is kind of user error in that regard. That said, if you were using a small-ish panel size and then decide to switch AM/PM on, this is sort of unexpected behavior that results from that.

Same problem here, but fresh install. Bottom panel overlaps window, you can't see search dialog in Firefox for example.

got same issue here but on top, if I open a window the top bar of the app goes behind my transparent panel; so I can't reach the close button Can see in the screenshot, I opened geany, the title of geany goes behind my clock and the close button is behind my raven button

Are any of you using multiple displays? I'm able to reproduce this by switching from one display to two. With two displays, the bottom panel overlaps my windows.

[bayang]

@lukechampine yes I am using two displays. You're right. And now that you mention it, this behaviour doesn't happen when I use only my laptop.

[fourwood]

Nope, only one monitor here.

[lukechampine]

Side panels are probably treated differently than top/bottom panels when it comes to multi-monitor setups. My guess is that we're observing two separate overlap bugs here.

Enabling "Dock Mode" shows how much it overlaps

This issue happens to me as well, even top or left panel.

Same problem with the bottom panel here, but the top panel works just fine somehow. Also, the issue disappears when I set my portrait mode display as primary.

[danieldaeschle]

Had same Problem.

Changed this

to this

then activated it. after undo that it was fixed.

I can reproduce the issue on my three monitor setup when I arrange my displays like this: (which would be my preferred setup since the one on the right is a Laptop display, so it actually is vertically offset) It disappears when I arrange them like this:
