Quick view at the problem

Description of problem:
After installing xfce4-cddrive-plugin standart way via yum, and adding it to xfce4-panel, it wastes free space to the left of the plugin. It is not left-clickable (no action happens with CD drive), but belongs to this plugin (right-click shows it). Rest of the plugin works normally. 100% reproducible on my 3 computers.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install xfce4-panel and xfce4-cddrive-plugin
2. Add this plugin to panel
  
Actual results:
Vaste of space, aesthetical tragedy

Expected results:
Plugin using space as any other

Additional information:
Screenshot with actual situation attached. Right from the plugin, there is free space i added on my own, so it has nothing to do with this bug. So do another applets showed on screenshot.

I am pretty sure the space left two the plugin does not belong to the plugin but to the panel. For each panel you need to have *one* separator that is set to "expand free space" (not sure if the translation is correct) but only one for must be set to expand. To me your screenshot looks as if you have ether separators on both sides. Am I correct?

Comment 2 Matěj Pakosta 2011-01-17 09:35:08 UTC
Sorry, my problem with mistranslation. No, on the panel, there is only one "extend free space" separator. If i click on that free space left to plugin, it shows me the same name as if i click on icon. Also, i tried moving the plugin between 2 other plugins, no free space, and the hole moved with it.

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2011-01-17 10:41:28 UTC
Does the location of the plugin change when you change the separator to not expand? I think what we see here is 
- The plugin was added where you clicked
- it is impossible to move the plugin due to a problem of the panel that was introduced through GTK, see  bug 668594.

Comment 4 Matěj Pakosta 2011-01-17 15:42:08 UTC
If I change separator just to free space, not expand, plugin moves straignt to the applet right from it. Free space fills whatever it can on the panel, so it looks like there was "expand free space" separator left to it (I can provide screenshot if there are some mistranslations again). Bug 668594 doesn't describe this too well, because i can move it freely around, until plugins next to it are locked at their place. Also, if I try to move it around, it gives me some non-existing edge where it could be dropped in about 1/3 from left edge of expanding free space.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:49:40 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
