Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

I'm using the Murrina engine and have no problem with it at all with any program.
There is however, a simple graphical glitch with Deskbar.

It seems the text-field in the panel is too big. It should be 2 pixels shorter. One from the top, one from the bottom.

My guess about why we don't see this glitch with other engines is most likely because their inset borders come with some extra padding.

Screenshot Edit (107.1 KiB, image/png)

I've attached a screenshot. Notice the border of the text-field of the deskbar in the panel at the top. Only the area you can actually type overlaps the border, making it thinner..

I forgot about this bug.

In Feisty it doesn't happen when using Murrina-themes.
I'm not sure who fixed it and when .. either deskbar fixed it or the Murrina engine fixed it.
Both are newer versions now.

I've put it on rejected because of that.
