Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I have encountered a weird inability to move my program icons in the upper gnome-panel. At least, certain icons don't move past a certain point. This is not a locked icon or so, it seems to be an invisible part of the panel. Still, while I just click 'hold (drag) the icon, it is partly moveable. But right-click 'move' it does not work (is for me a better method to move these things around as it indicates better where it goes).

My panel is 28 pixels high and 1050 pixels wide, the problem occurs around 1/3 of the width from the left side.

I use feisty beta,
the bug seemed to appear when I manually created a shortcut for dosbox, but I cannot imagine this should do something significant to make up this issue...
I threw away my whole panel-config before this issue appeared, so I am sure I had a clean config.
THanks!

Sorry, I don't know how I did this. But maybe I found that there where invisible broken buttons in the panel which prevented the other buttons from moving around. A few days ago, there where a few old buttons, huge white icons with a red cross through it. Maybe those where the reason why it did occur. But still it is weird en unnessecary behaviour to me.

those are likely launchers without icon, do you still get the bug without them? Do you have steps to trigger it?

No, the bug does not occur anymore. But it is strange I did not see those icons before... Thanks for your help and interest
